Ann Fitzgerald Flemer College Mentorship Program
The MTC's Ann Fitzgerald Flemer College Mentorship Program is providing students/mentees with a paid opportunity to gain professional work experience in transportation planning, finance and operational projects.

Over the following decades, she became a cherished mentor to an entire generation of leaders at MTC and at many of our partner agencies. Throughout her career, Ann was a champion for young people’s access to transportation and an advocate for their participation in the planning process.
