In recognition of National Hispanic Heritage Month, MassDOT is celebrating the rich contributions and cultural heritage of the Massachusetts’s Latino community and remains committed to diversity in transportation. Today, to close out Hispanic Heritage Month we celebrate Carlos Velasquez, who is the Assistant Project Manager in the Rail and Transit Division. Personally, this month is a reminder of my own heritage—a blend of European, Indigenous, Sub-Saharan African, and Asian roots. I take pride in the journeys my ancestors made, crossing oceans and walking long paths to bring us to where we are today. This history fills me with honor, humility, and a deep commitment to respecting others. Latinos represent the beauty of multiculturalism, but I dream of a future where we define ourselves as part of the human race, rather than by our accents, skin colors, or beliefs. There is still much work to be done, but the activities during this celebration encourage us to focus on what unites us, rather than what divides us. We are travelers and builders, continuing the journey our ancestors began thousands of years ago. One day, we will be part of decision-making tables, shaping the future together. Este mes, para mí, es un recordatorio de mi propia herencia: una mezcla de raíces europeas, indígenas, africanas y de otros pedacitos del mundo. Siento orgullo del viaje que hicieron mis antepasados, cruzando océanos y recorriendo largos caminos para llegar a donde estamos hoy. Esta historia me llena de honor, humildad y un profundo compromiso con el respeto a los demás. Aunque los latinos representamos el multiculturalismo, sue?o con un futuro en el que nos definamos como parte de la raza humana, en lugar de ser definidos por nuestros acentos, colores de piel o creencias. Todavía queda mucho por hacer, pero las actividades de esta celebración nos animan a centrarnos en lo que nos une, no en lo que nos divide. Somos viajeros y constructores, continuando el camino que empezaron nuestros ancestros hace miles de a?os. Un día, formaremos parte de las mesas donde se toman decisiones, ayudando a forjar un futuro para todos.

In recognition of National Hispanic Heritage Month, MassDOT is celebrating the rich contributions and cultural heritage of the Massachusetts’s Latino community and remains committed to diversity in transportation. This week we are highlighting Leony Simo, who is Mass RMV Driver Education Program Coordinator and the Co-Chair MassDOT/MBTA Multicultural ERG. Leony shares what Hispanic Heritage means to her. I celebrate my heritage every day. During the month of September, others in the United States have the opportunity to join me in this celebration including my colleagues at MassDOT/MBTA. They can learn about the great things that makes us so proud to be of Hispanic heritage, our rich food, music, art and holiday traditions. But most importantly; our family. I immigrated from Costa Rica over 40 years ago and I cherish the upbringing that has influenced my daily life (family values, unique personality and my community). In my culture we have a deep sense of family pride. Hispanics have influenced sports, science, education and the economy of this country. During this time, we highlight and honor our contributions and achievements to this society. Let’s all unite and support efforts in building a more inclusive and prosperous United States. Yo celebro mi herencia todos los días. Durante el mes de Septiembre, otras personas en los Estados Unidos tienen la opportunidad de unirse a mí en esta celebración, incluyendo mis colegas de MassDOT/MBTA. Pueden aprender sobre las grandes cosas que nos hacen sentir tan orgullosos de ser de la herencia hispana, nuestra rica comida, música, arte y tradiciones en las festividades. Pero lo más importante; nuestra familia. Emigré de Costa Rica hace más de 40 a?os y valoro la crianza que ha influenziado mi vida diaria (valores familiares, personalidad única y mi comunidad). En mi cultura tenemos un profundo sentido de orgullo familiar. Los hispanos han influenziado los deportes, la ciencia, la educación y la economia de este pais. Durante este tiempo, destacamos y honramos nuestras contribuciones y logros a esta sociedad. Unámonos y apoyemos los esfuerzos para construir un Estados Unidos más inclusivo y próspero.

Last week, MassDOT civil engineering co-ops had the opportunity to visit the Newton-Weston bridge replacement and rehabilitation site at the I-90/I-95 interchange. The field trip gave students the opportunity to witness the progress of this initiative, which kicked off in Winter 2024. The project involves replacing eight bridges, five of the bridges will be replaced, one will be rehabilitated, and two will have their superstructure replaced. The diverse elements of this undertaking provided a unique, hands-on learning experience for the MassDOT co-ops. A big thank you to everyone involved in the cross-departmental planning that supports the MassDOT Co-op Program, helping to educate and mentor the future leaders in transportation. Apply today for 2025 Spring co-op and summer intern opportunities: https://lnkd.in/g6K2Hbxy #MassDOT #MassDOTcareers #Internship #Community #Impact #Transportation #Rehabilitation #Bridge #Design #Safety
