Posted July 2016

The Transit Elevator-Escalator Training Consortium (the Consortium) is the first in an ongoing series of industry-wide collaborative programs to develop integrated systems of training for key frontline occupations in public transportation. Building on national training standards developed by industry Subject Matter Experts from 2006 to 2010 and then adopted by the American Public Transportation Association, the Consortium has achieved unprecedented success by bringing together the knowledge of experienced frontline technicians, managers and trainers with the Center’s expert team of instructional system designers (ISDs).

The newly released report, The Transit Elevator-Escalator Training Consortium: A Model for Successful Training Development, highlights on the process, products and outcomes related to this first National public transportation training consortium. Products include - instruction ready courseware, a nationally recognized apprenticeship program for transit maintenance elevator/escalator maintainers and train-the-trainer program.
