National Standards for Training
Working with labor and management representatives, the Center develops national standards for workforce training in five key areas of transit.
Bus Maintenance
Rail Vehicles
Rail Signals
Elevator-Escalators
Traction Power
Supported by the U.S. Department of Labor and the Federal Transit Administration, this project creates models for training and apprenticeship that can be used by systems across the country to address their training needs.
Ultimately, the models and systems created through this program will make it easier for the public transportation industry to achieve the needed improvements in maintenance workforce development by reducing cost, improving quality, increasing job stability and allowing for a more rapid and effective implementation of new technologies.
