Major Activities

Activity 2

Transit Technology Career Ladder Partnership - The Center's core source of support comes from the US Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration. With this funding, the Center has developed and supported transit training partnership initiatives in nearly a dozen states. Complimenting local partnership efforts such as skill gap analyses and joint labor-management committees, this program has also funded the implementation of a national framework and development of national standards for transit training to be used at the local level. Research has been another major accomplishment from this funding. In the last year, studies have focused on the return on investment of training programs, emerging hot topics in transit and workforce development, such as health and safety, and sustainability.
