Abstract:This study, commissioned by the National Transit Institute (NTI) as part of its work to address training needs, investigated skills gaps among the workforce of the U.S. public transportation industry, identified strategies to address those gaps, and explored approaches to more successfully recruit and retain the full spectrum of the transit workforce, from frontline to technical to professional staff. The researchers documented five recurring areas of cross-cutting training needs: communicating with the public, conflict resolution, verbal and written communication skills, leadership and supervision skills, and understanding of disability issues and communication with populations with diverse abilities. The researchers also documented training to understand rapidly- changing technologies as a significant area of concern, as the need for such training cuts across many job duties and positions
