Public Lands Transportation Fellowship - The Western Transportation Institute

Who: The Western Transportation Institute at Montana State University-Bozeman. The Public Lands Transportation Fellows (PLTF) program, previously known as the scholars program, began in 2012 and was modeled after the very successful Transportation Scholars program managed by the National Park Foundation (NPF) that served the National Park Service (NPS).

What: The PLTF program provides fellowships to outstanding masters and doctoral graduates in a transportation-related field. The fellows are provided with a unique opportunity for career development and public service working directly with staff of Federal Land Management Agencies (FLMAs) on key visitor transportation issues. Fellows are assigned to work with staff at a unit or region/field office facing a transportation issue to facilitate a transportation planning or implementation project. The assigned projects help the land units develop transportation solutions that preserve valuable resources and enhance the visitor experience.
The program has four goals, which are to:
  • Encourage emerging transportation professionals to pursue their career serving federal lands. 
  • Provide much-needed transportation expertise to FLMA units and regions to help them address critical transportation issues. 
  • Support the development, implementation and evaluation of viable alternative transportation for visitors to FLMAs. 
  • Encourage multi-agency alternative transportation programs that serve visitors to multiple FLMA units. 
The two 2019 Fellows will be stationed at Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Potomac River National Wildlife Refuge Complex in Woodbridge, Virginia.

The Fellows position spans from July 8, 2019 to June 5, 2020. Compensation includes $33,000 for 10 months, benefits, relocation expenses, housing (differs for each position), and potential for Federal Non-Competitive Eligibility Status.

Qualifications: Applicants to the Fellows program must be U.S. citizens, nationals, or lawful permanent resident aliens of the U.S.; be 30 years of age or under by the start date; and have at least a Bachelor’s degree; however, the preference is for recent or soon-to-be Master’s degree graduates.

The application window closes on Sunday, May 12th at 11:59 Pm Eastern.
