Recent Program Scholars

The September 11th Memorial Program would not have been possible without the support from the families of Ignatius Adanga, Charles Lesperance, and See Wong Shum.

The prestigious September 11th Memorial Fellowship Program for Regional Transportation Planning annually motivates select students to explore creative, innovative solutions to transportation challenges under the mentorship of NYMTC staff and member agencies. Join us for a special NYMTC Brown Bag session showcasing their research on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, at 12:00 p.m.
