Back to Top Research Reports and Technology Transfer Summaries

Each MTC research project results in a technical report that documents the findings, and, for most projects, a one-page technology transfer summary that highlights the major conclusions in a visual, readable format.

Back to Top Go! Magazine

MTC co-sponsors Go! magazine, a free online publication target at teens and young adults that explores the world of transportation and the careers they can find there.

Go! aims to make teens (and the adults who influence them) more aware of the variety of careers available in the transportation industry. According to the Transportation Research Board's Special Report 275: The Workforce Challenge, published in 2003, more than 50% of the state transportation agency workforce is now or will become eligible to retire by 2013, a rate that is "more than double the rate for nation's entire workforce" (p.3).

Go! is published by Iowa State University's Institute for Transportation. The magazine began publication in January 2007.

Back to Top 2010 Regional Workforce Development Summit

In April 2010, MTC and InTrans hosted a Regional Transportation Workforce Development Summit, one of several held across the U.S. as part of a coordinated initiative to ultimately develop a national strategy to address future transportation workforce issues. The effort is led by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA).

The summit explored avenues for attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse, effective transportation workforce for the future. The summit's sponsors included RITA, through its University Transportation Centers Program, and the Office of Professional and Corporate Development at the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
