Thriving Communities Cohort Hears from ITLC

Posted January 2024

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Thriving Communities Program (TCP) provides technical assistance, planning, and capacity-building support to teams of community partners that may lack the staffing or technical expertise to scope, fund, and develop infrastructure projects that advance broader community goals. Responding to an invitation from ITLC Senior Fellow Dr. Beverly Scott, who serves as a capacity-building resource to the current TCP cohort, Executive Director Jack Clark and Senior Director for Workforce Education Pat Greenfield spoke to the cohort about ITLC programs and services. Participants expressed particular interest in funding opportunities for workforce initiatives, ITLC’s work on workforce development resources related to fleet transition to electric vehicles in public transit and school buses, and opportunities and materials related to transit-education partnerships.
