This bill directs the Secretary of Transportation to establish a National Transit Workforce Center, which will be run by a qualified nonprofit organization through a federal grant. The Center will develop and provide training programs, educational materials, and technical assistance to help public transportation agencies recruit, hire, train, and retain skilled workers across urban, suburban, rural, and tribal areas. The Center's duties include creating workforce development programs tailored to different transit systems, conducting data analysis on transit workforce trends, providing outreach to the transit industry, and supporting workers preparing for jobs involving new technologies. The bill requires the selected nonprofit to collaborate with the Federal Transit Administration, transit agencies, professional associations, and transit employee representatives when developing its programs and services. While the legislation establishes the Center's mission and responsibilities, the text does not specify a particular funding amount or implementation timeline.
