Major Activities

Activity 2

Transit Elevator-Escalator Training Consortium - The Consortium was created to address three major problems in the transit vertical transportation industry: aging of workforce, equipment problems (more complex new equipment & aging of old equipment), and limited budgets. The Center working on behalf of the Consortium has made major strides in achieving the stated goals.The Program's accomplishments are: Identify/validate existing courseware and develop new courseware material. Developing both classroom and hands-on instruction to include the transit industry's best practices, agencies' procedures & Federal, State and local code requirements to properly and safely maintain the Consortium members' vertical transportation systems (elevators & escalators);Develop a team of the transit industry's subject matter experts and hold meetings to develop courseware materials. Also, have a Technical oversight committee to approve direction, budget and address major issues;Pilot and validate newly developed courses. Obtain major manufacturers' and various suppliers' permissions to use copyrighted material in new courseware materials.

Activity 3

Initiating a National Joint Transit Industry Rail Vehicle Technician Certification Program - Building for Success, brings together expert management and labor representatives to help design and implement a new joint system for qualifying the skills of transit technicians - transit rail vehicle technicians in this first instance. The E-7 project necessarily builds upon and links to other elements in an emerging joint system of training and apprenticeship for technical jobs in the transit industry. This effort derives from a broader joint program for developing a comprehensive system of consensus standards for transit technical training and a national joint framework for transit apprenticeship. There has been a well-grounded consensus among transit labor and management that development and implementation of a national system of skill qualification makes sense only if it is preceded by the development and implementation of training at the national and local levels. With this foundation, and with the E-7 Panel's commitment to joint industry participation and consensus, this project aims to achieve the goal of widespread adoption of this emerging joint national system of training and qualification through local training and qualification agreements.
