This paper discusses the Iowa Department of Transportation's (IDOT's) approach to the training of equipment maintenance personnel. The state is divided into six districts with each district divided into four resident maintenance engineer's offices. Each office is responsible for three to seven maintenance garages. Most of the garages are independent facilities staffed with a supervisor, one or more mechanics, and enough equipment operators to handle the work load. Training of these equipment operators and mechanics is accomplished by using new technology as it becomes available and utilizing the resources available to make that technology work. One such resource is the community college.
