Exciting news for Central Maine! The opening of the American Transportation Academy will help strengthen our region’s workforce by creating new pathways into the transportation industry and supporting continued economic growth. 🚛

Thank you to the American Transportation Academy for opening its doors in Kennebec Valley!

For co-owners Toby and Trisha Watson, who also own Statewide Towing, opening this Central Maine school was born out of a lack of local options.
