[Anders note: It may not be a transportation position, per se, but I am forwarding this opportunity along to the AT network because in my experience, this wonderful organization is just as mindful of accessibility outside of the gyms/pools/fields too as they are in.on one. It would be a great place to get some experience in mobility/recreatiomn/urbanism and program development! They look at sport in a very inclusive way, but if there is someone in your life that identifies as a person with a disability who is into planning - whether its cities or events - please especially take a moment to pass this on to them as its especially good opportunity for someone itching to make a difference.
