Abstract

This research critically examines the development of culturally responsive transportation education programs within the context of international and global standards. Focusing on 39 cadet students studying multimodal transportation, logistics, safety, and road management, qualitative research methods and descriptive analysis reveal the challenges and opportunities in integrating cultural responsiveness into curriculum design and teaching practices. Findings underscore the importance of diversity in curriculum content, cultural sensitivity among educators, and support services for culturally diverse students. Opportunities for improvement include incorporating diverse perspectives into the curriculum and providing comprehensive support services. By addressing these challenges and capitalizing on opportunities, transportation institutions can create inclusive learning environments that better prepare students for the multicultural nature of the transportation sector.
