Abstract:

Although nuances exist across modes, all transportation modes are at risk of serious workforce capacity shortages in the next few years. There is good news, however—rigorous research and action planning is being conducted in each mode to mitigate the impact of workforce gaps. Projects discussed in this article include the Transit Cooperative Research Program's sustainable workforce research; workforce development strategies published by the National Cooperative Rail Research Program; and the Airport Cooperative Research Program's study identifying workforce-capacity building strategies for airports. Additional topics include image management and limited public awareness of transportation careers; employee engagement including employee referrals; workforce development; and enhancing professional capacity through cross-modal experiential learning.
