Integrating Research and Practical Tools to Build a Sustainable Transportation Workforce
This submission provides a synopsis of research conducted in support of Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Project F-16a, Building a Sustainable Workforce in Public Transportation – A Systems Approach. The results and recommendations created as a part of this project were collected into a Guidebook that provides practical recommendations to public transportation stakeholders to help them build a more sustainable workforce and better orient themselves as “employers of choice” among the current labor market and non-traditional candidates. This report presents several examples of strategies, processes, and metrics that have proven useful in the public transportation industry, while also demonstrating a potential model for integrated workforce development resources that blend rigorous research with practitioner-oriented tools.
