Public Transit Workforce Development for Zero-Emission Vehicles

This TCRP report focuses on vehicle maintenance of battery-electric and fuel-cell transit buses, including case studies from transit as well as lessons from the automotive and school transportation industries. Recommendations include assessing workforce skills through skills-gap analysis, building a systematic process for building skills (including through frontline worker engagement and the creation of formalized training programs, e.g., registered apprenticeship), and working proactively on recruitment and retention.
