Transit Training, Technical Assistance and Research
Public transportation plays an important role in our society. It not only provides mobility to those with limited
incomes or disabilities, but also provides alternatives for those able to drive their own vehicles but who appreciate
the ability to relieve stress and do productive work while traveling. Public transportation helps to reduce
congestion on our nation’s highways, while offering one of the best means possible for our nation to reduce its
dependence on fossil fuels. It creates a wealth of new opportunities for individuals and communities and is a
catalyst for economic and social opportunities that help make America more efficient and productive.
It is the critical mission of the Transit Training and Technical Assistance Program team to provide training,
technical assistance and conduct vital and relevant transit research that will help to ensure the success of
today’s public transportation systems.
