This important Summit, held in April 2012, brought together many conversations that have created a rich tapestry of transportation workforce development efforts across the nation and wove those efforts into a cohesive strategic framework. The Summit sought to generate broad ownership in a framework to link workforce needs to workforce development policies and programs. The scope of the Summit included the workforce for all modes of transportation and all training sources for that workforce. It was initiated by the Council of University Transportation Centers (CUTC) in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT). Building upon other national initiatives, the U.S. Departments of Education and Labor along with industry organizations and the National Science Foundation were instrumental in contributing to the success of the event. The 2025 TRB National Summit for the Future of the Transportation Workforce is building on this foundation.
