Employment bust is transit's boon

Much attention is being paid to workforce development by the transit industry. APTA has put together a blue ribbon task force to study the issues and make recommendations. The association's business members are being encouraged to participate in the study. 

There are important programs in place that recognize transit career needs such as the APTA Scholarship Foundation and the APTA Management Training Program. With unemployment hitting record levels, is there a better time to attract new people who will make public transit a career?

Until next time,

Dan

I have 25+ years of transit experience , to include executive level management, and I can not find a job in the local transit industry, to include the T, DART and the DCTA.

I do hope this blog idealogy is true. I would love to get back to the industry.

I have 26 + years of service in the transit industry and cannot find a job. The industry and government have lost their ability to attract and develop talent. I hope the task force is inclusive and reflects the ideas of its customers both internal and external.
