Industry Survey

Posted July 2024

Zero-Emission Fleet Transition Survey 

ITLC and Planning Communities are conducting a research project funded by the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) titled "Zero-Emission Vehicles: New Tech, New Skills, New Jobs.” The research includes a literature review, focus groups, an industry survey, and several case studies. The project will produce a resource for transit agencies as they transition their workforce – technicians and operators – to new skills and new jobs for planning, operating, and maintaining zero-emission (ZE) fleets and technologies. 

 

The industry survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. 

• The survey examines the level of existing ZEV skills and how transit agencies are expanding those skills to prepare their workforce for this new technology. It addresses the use of skills gap analysis, ZE impacts on recruitment, retention, and training, and the role of OEMs in providing training. 
• Multiple responses from an agency are welcomed. 

 

Your participation will help ensure that this research is robust, representative, and reflects the realities faced by transit agencies. All participants will receive a copy of the final report. 

 

The team requests that surveys be completed by July 29, 2024. If you have any questions, please contact James Farrell at jfarrell@planningcommunities.com.
