Members of the Council of Minority Transportation Officials (COMTO) Jacksonville chapter partnered with Children Enriched with Opportunities (CEO) to facilitate this year’s Garrett A. Morgan Shadow Day presentation. Students from the program along with the Executive Director of CEO, Mary Davis-Johnson attended the event to learn about Garrett Morgan’s contributions to the transportation industry. Students participated in a transportation exercise and prizes were awarded for correctly answering questions. In addition, students learned about the wide variety of careers available in the transportation industry.

One young participant, Kolin (pictured above), was so excited by what he learned from the presentation that he told his mother, “I have so much to teach you and dad from what I learned today.”  His parents were pleased with his enthusiasm to learn and his desire to educate them on what he learned about transportation.
