• Abstract:
  The purpose of this project was to study the feasibility of a regional approach to rail transit training in the New York metropolitan area and to recommend a means for implementing such a cooperative training effort. The study had two parts. The first part was to study the existing training at the five agencies, to document the training needs of each agency, and to determine mutual training needs that could be addressed on a regional basis. The five agencies are the New Jersey Transit Rail Division, the Port Authority Trans-Hudson Corporation, Metro North Commuter Rail, Long Island Railroad, and the New York City Transit Authority. The second part was to determine possible means of sharing training, drawing on the literature and from innovative approaches by other organizations.
