51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Tech’s Transportation Division has historically welcomed select community-based vehicle projects as part of our instructional program. However, moving forward, we will no longer be accepting outside (community) work. This change allows us to focus exclusively on our internal fleet and industry partner vehicles to better support student learning and ensure our curriculum is delivered in a timely and effective manner.
We appreciate the community’s past support and understanding as we prioritize instructional needs.
