Resources


National Aging and Disability Transportation Center Learning Shorts

The National Aging and Disability Transportation Center understands that there are a lot of things to learn when providing transportation services to older adults and individuals with disabilities, and there's not always enough time to get the training you would like! That’s why they are introducing a new series of learning shorts, “How to…with NADTC." Each video is less than 15 minutes long and addresses important topics while providing useful information to help you manage your transportation program.


Mental Health Resources for Transit Workers

FTA has published mental health resources to support transit industry workers during these challenging times. These resources, which are updated weekly, include information on:

  • Mental health, wellness, and self-care
  • Suicide prevention
  • Active shooter preparedness


Entry-Level Driver Training Technical Brief from National RTAP

National RTAP has created a Technical Brief on ELDT (Entry-Level Driver Training). This training is now necessary for a driver to get a Class A or B Commercial Driver’s License or a Passenger Endorsement.
