The attempts of the FHWA are meticulously guided by its collective agency mission, which is to "improve mobility on our Nation's highways through national leadership, innovation, and program delivery."

In line with this mission, the Federal Highway Administration has recently established the Enhancing Awareness of Transportation and Transportation Careers Program wherein it seeks to solicit applications from eligible entities who have the desire to utilize the advances in technology in the noble process of informing and teaching middle school, high school and community college students and faculties regarding transportation and transportation careers.
