The goal of the program is to meet both current and future rail workforce demands by addressing key challenges such as an aging workforce and critical skill gaps. It also aims to prepare the workforce for advanced technology deployments and operational innovations, ultimately contributing to the stabilization and growth of the rail industry workforce. The program includes the Mineta Summer Transportation Academy.
