National Transportation Week (NTW)
May 11-17, 2008

Dear Educator,

In honor of National Transportation Week (NTW) May 11-17, 2008, Wayne County is again working with colleges, universities and businesses across the state to host a “Transportation Education Expo”.  This event will focus on all modes of transportation.  I would like to invite your students’ participation in this event to help our next generation understand and meet the transportation challenges of the future. 

Showcasing our region’s resources and 21st Century solutions to transportation challenges, the Expo will present exciting research projects and hands-on, interactive activities.  It is our intent that the Expo will help young people understand that math and science lead to exciting and fun things to do and inspire them to pursue careers in transportation related industries.

We are planning our Transportation Education Expo at Hines Park (see enclosed map) on Wednesday, May 14, 2008 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.  Please help us put Metro Detroit at the center of national attention when NTW '08 – “The Year of the Car” events come to the City that "put the nation on wheels"and literally changed the world.

Please indicate your school’s interest in attending the Wayne County Transportation Education Expo, by completing the enclosed form and faxing it to (313) 967-6558 by February 22, 2008.  Please contact Ms. Deanna Burtka for additional information on (313) 224-0340.
