About the Program

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s (US DOT) Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) manages the annual Summer Transportation Internship Program for Diverse Groups (STIPDG). The intent of the STIPDG is to provide summer employment opportunities to students and promote the entry of Women, Persons with Disabilities, and Members of other Diverse Groups; and racial and ethnic diverse individuals with summer employment opportunities in the field of transportation.

The STIPDG offers an exceptional opportunity for summer employment, designed to promote the entry of women, persons with disabilities, and individuals from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds into the transportation industry. The program is fully funded and will run for 10 weeks during the summer of 2025.

Interns will gain valuable experience through field trips to national transportation projects, conferences, workshops, decision-making meetings, and other special events aligned with their work assignments. Additionally, housing and airfare expenses are covered under the program and GMG will offer 10-weeks of short-term health insurance for all interns.

The primary goal of STIPDG is to mentor and cultivate the next generation of transportation leaders through the close collaboration with DOT professionals. Students will develop a deeper understanding of transportation issues, enhance their resumes, and build a network of industry contacts. GMG is committed to delivering a seamless program experience, ensuring each student maximizes their professional growth and career opportunities.
