September Spotlight: Workforce

AI.JPG

As AI continues to awaken, the moment is now to be sure that it augments collective capabilities, enhances human well-being, and constructs a future workforce that is resilient, adaptive, and equipped to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Individuals, businesses, nonprofits, colleges and universities, civil society institutions, and government influence AI by the choices they make every day, large and small. The National Academies 2025 report Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work is one of many resources available at our Transportation Workforce Collection.

TCRP RR 256_zero emission bus fleets.JPG

Resilience planning is crucial for transit agencies to maintain service during adverse events and ensure community needs are met. Agencies are finding opportunities as well as challenges as they seek to improve their operational resilience by potentially transitioning to zero-emission transit bus (ZEB) fleets. TCRP Research Report 256: Resilient Zero-Emission Transit Bus Fleets: A Guide, released this week by TRB's Transit Cooperative Research Program, is designed for agencies with existing resilience plans for conventional fleets transitioning to ZEB fleets. Agencies featured include AC Transit, AVTA, MTA, Metro Transit, Montgomery County Transit Services, and SMRT.
