🌱💡 Bright futures. Greener communities. Team RideFinders had a great time exhibiting at Thinking Big 2026, where more than 400 students connected with organizations making a real impact in our communities.
Hosted by GiSTEM, Inc., Thinking Big gives young people an opportunity to explore STEM careers, meet professionals and see how the skills they’re developing today can open doors tomorrow. We were excited to bring sustainability and transportation into that conversation.
🚐 Because transportation is about a lot more than getting from Point A to Point B, we unveiled two new student-friendly infographics created especially for high school students:
🚦 Careers in Transportation introduces students to the many careers that keep people moving. From planning and operations, marketing, skilled trades to information technology, data and other STEM disciplines all play a role in creating more sustainable transportation systems.
🌱 Who Is RideFinders? introduces students to RideFinders and Transportation Demand Management (TDM): the work behind helping people discover practical sustainable solutions to driving alone, such as carpooling, vanpooling, transit, biking, walking and telework.
Our goal was simple: get students thinking. Their everyday transportation choices can help reduce environmental impact, support healthier communities and improve quality of life. And one day, their career choices could help shape how all of us move.
We’ll continue using these new infographics as youth outreach resources, and they're included on our Sustainability Resources for Kids and Youth.
We had a great time talking with students, sharing ideas and reminding the next generation that sustainability needs thinkers, problem-solvers, innovators and maybe a few future transportation professionals, too. Girls impacting Science Technology Engineering Mathematics, Inc.
