Training & Outreach

Training will be conducted as needed, particularly in SURTC's geographic scope states. One of the first projects will be to offer the CTAA transit manager training. Other training programs will be developed to meet user needs (as identified through user needs assessment and as the program advances). Also, already developed training materials and courses from sources such as the national RTAP program, CTAA, NTI, and other states will be used and adapted to meet regional needs.

The service function of the program will be carried out using both traditional and non-traditional methods of dissemination and assistance. The Transportation Learning Network (TLN) system, a telecommunications network linking four universities and three state DOT's, will be used to disseminate results and conduct workshops and seminars. This system can also link to other sites throughout the U.S.
