Program Content/Learning Objectives

As transit agencies continue to deal with funding shortfalls from the ongoing economic slump, they are taking a hard look at operational areas (such as employee benefits) and making tough choices about what capital projects can be funded. This workshop will concentrate on 1) how agencies are dealing with continued cuts in operating funding; 2) how agencies are dealing with scarce capital funding by prioritizing capital projects; and, 3) what the economic outlook is currently and going forward. After attending this conference, participants will be able to:

Understand how transit agencies are dealing with the current economy by making changes in their benefit programs.
Understand how agencies are defining State of Good Repair and using condition assessments to prioritizne scarce capital funding.
Learn whether federal funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is actually creating jobs in Transit.
Learn how the Cleveland RTA is using Transit Stat to monitor performance measures.
