The TRC began a developmental evaluation of the four year Transportation Education Development
Pilot Program as it moves through the final implementation phase of testing new approaches to
workforce development in northern New England. This effort will identify opportunities to expand
the program regionally and possibly nationally.

Four Transportation Systems Academies will be launched in the coming year in partnership with
Career and Technical Centers, the Community High School of Vermont and The Vermont Agency
of Transportation. Working with Veterans counselors at the Vermont Department of Labor the
TRC is moving ahead to develop a program to translate Transportation careers into a framework
tailored for Veterans to identify bridging opportunities into the field with a special partnership with
public transit agencies. Outreach Manager Glenn McRae attended the meetings of the National

Transportation Training Directors in October (see agenda here) where he made a presentation on the

Transportation Workforce Development Framework that emerged from the National Summit last

spring where he was a member of the organizing team. See the summit website here
