The U.S. Department of Transportation has launched a 5-year Professional Capacity Building (PCB) program to elevate the knowledge, skills, and abilities of surface transportation professionals to advance the deployment of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) infrastructure across the nation. The PCB Program proposes to address professional capacity building needs within a framework that places targeted audiences into three tracks that focus the development and delivery of ITS training, education, and outreach programs. Track 1 targets existing transportation professionals and trained professionals from other fields whose expertise supports ITS. Track 2 advances the development of future transportation professionals and leaders, including university and technical school students. Track 3 builds the awareness of elected and appointed officials who have influence over transportation policies, especially concerning funding, land use, environmental protection, and quality of life. This track also raises the awareness of the traveling public, which benefits from ITS deployment. |
