MTA FOUNDATION
Introducing the Drive the Difference Campaign!
Designed to boost interest in Minnesota trucking careers, Drive the Difference is a game changer for Minnesota trucking.
The dynamic new website (click on the image above) and a coordinated social media campaign will reach young people, mid-career changers, women, and under-represented populations. Original videos feature real MTA member companies with testimonials from drivers, technicians and behind-the-scenes employees.
The ongoing social media campaign will utilize Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and YouTube. Ads on Pandora and Spotify and web search optimization will help drive people to the website as well.

2022/2023 Scholarship Fund Drive!
DONATIONS
Last year the MTA disbursed $26,867 in scholarships for truck driving and truck technician students. These scholarships can sometimes mean the difference between a student continuing their training and dropping out due to lack of funds.
The video to the right shows just how much your contributions have helped students at Alexandria Technical and Community College pursue a career in trucking.
To donate specifically to truck driving or diesel technician funds, note in "donor comments" on the pledge form.
