Innovative Transit Workforce Development Program
FTA Workforce Development activities are authorized by 49 U.S.C.
5322, Human Resource Programs.
The Innovative Transit Workforce Development Program is intended to exercise this authority by providing funding to transit agencies and other entities with innovative solutions to pressing
workforce development issues.
In its second funding iteration, FTA seeks applications that showcase and support products and approaches that improve the state of the practice of workforce development.
Specific focus is given to those:
1) projects or programs that demonstrate innovative methods of leveraging investments in public transportation infrastructure to generate possible impacts in local employment, particularly in underserved communities; 2) innovative projects or programs that support the training/professional development needs of blue-collar workers, particularly in the area of new and emerging technologies; and 3) projects that support or showcase innovative methods of encouraging youth to pursue careers in public transportation.
