The Priscilla Golding Collection (1994-2000; circa 1990s) contains .42 linear feet of documents related to the Intermodal
Surface Transportation and Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991 and Northeast Women in Transportation (NEWIT). This includes: material

correspondence, and history; as well as copies of a petition for rule making and policy changes addressed to the Office of

Priscilla Golding was a member of Northeast Women in Transportation (NEWIT) and director of Women in the Building Trades,
which was located in Jamaica Plain, MA. Founded in 1991, NEWIT was a coalition of tradeswomen located in the Northeast of
the United States who were committed to increasing training, employment, support services, and professional development for
women and minorities looking for viable careers in the transportation industry. During Golding's time in NEWIT, she worked
to gain access to funds from ISTEA for women and minorities to advance their careers in the transportation industry. Intermodal
Surface Transportation and Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991 authorized funds for highways, highway safety, and mass transportation
for the fiscal years 1992-1997.
