The National Summer Transportation Institute (NSTI) is a fun, interactive, FREE program held on the Randolph and Williston campuses!
Rising 9th – 12th graders will get an overnight experience at our Randolph campus, while rising 6th – 8th graders enjoy a day-camp at our Williston campus.
Students engage with interactive labs, field trips, and guest speakers all while driving a big rig in the CDL simulator, visiting mass transit systems, and learning how bridges are designed and created. Additionally, they’ll explore energy, the environment, and eco-friendly transportation systems to discover how Math, Science, and English all relate to transportation careers. The Vermont Agency of Transportation sponsors NSTI and funding is provided through a grant from the Federal Highway Administration.
Important Info for 2026
We are sad to announce that due to delays in federal funding, our popular NSTI camps will not occur this summer.
We are optimistic about a successful return in 2027.
For Summer 2026, VTrans is actively exploring alternative options to the full camps. We will share more information here as it becomes available.
Experience hands-on opportunities by:
- Studying how bridges are designed and built alongside existing transportation systems.
- Visiting mass transit systems like ferries, planes, buses, trains, and more.
- Exploring energy and the environment while learning about alternative fuels and eco-friendly transportation.
- Connecting how Math, Science, and English significantly relate to transportation careers.
- Learning about transportation safety.
