This publication draws example from the Center’s national labor-management committees, which have met regularly for several years to develop consensus training guidelines.

A parallel joint effort has been crafting a national framework for transit apprenticeship.
Millions of zero-vehicle households live in areas well served by transit. Yet hundreds of thousands of zero-vehicle households live out of transit's reach, particularly in the South and in the suburbs.

Based on these trends, leaders must recognize these households' unique mobility needs and aim to improve job accessibility through sound policy.
Transport Workers Union Spring 2012 review of American workforce and how HR7 impacts them.
