CTF Transportation Scholarship:
2016 Transportation Scholarship winners:
Spencer Ortega
“My name is Spencer Ortega and I am transferring to pursue my Bachelor degree in Computer Science. Similar to how public transportation has had such a positive impact on my life and more importantly the life of others, I am looking to take this same principle and positively affect the lives of others through the use of Computer Science. One of the main obstacles that stood in the way of my educational career was commuting to school, and public transportation most certainly contributed to my academic success. My personal experience with transportation and also my Father working at Caltrans definitely inspired me to pursue a career in the field because i know how much it means to my community. I am very thankful for The California Transportation Foundation and all public transportation for the endless amount of support i have received. “
