Multi-Modal Transportation Technology
Transportation is an essential activity of any economy, necessary because
of the uneven spatial distribution of natural and human resources. By moving
goods to locations where they have greater value and moving people to places
where their time has higher value, transportation adds value to the economy.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, each year there are
trillions of miles of passenger travel and trillions of tons of freight
movement in the U.S. Millions of American businesses rely on the shipment of
products to other businesses, to consumers, and to markets in the U.S. and
abroad. As a result, there are tremendous opportunities for employment and
advancement within the Multi-Modal Transportation Technologies Industry.
Today's travelers, businesses, government and the Multi-Modal Industry rely
heavily on the skills of transportation technologists to manufacture,
maintain and repair in order to keep the system moving.
At St. Philip's College, we're preparing you for a career on the move. Our
Multi-Modal Transportation graduates are prepared to work in virtually every
segment of the industry-whether your goal is to work with the freight lines
