• Abstract:
  In 2011, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Office of Research, Development, and Technology (RD&T) published the ; first edition of the “Railroad Industry Modal Profile: An Outline of the Railroad Industry Workforce Trends, Challenges, and ; Opportunities” in response to the DOT National Transportation Workforce Initiative. The profile provided a comprehensive ; assessment of the railroad workforce and identified six key workforce challenges facing the industry at that time. Since the initial ; publication, the profile has been widely used as a source of information and insight regarding railroad industry workforce ; development. Thus, the FRA Office of RD&T determined that it should be updated periodically to reflect the latest industry ; trends, issues, and best practices. Recently, the FRA Office of RD&T conducted another analysis to gauge the current and future ; state of the industry’s workforce based on available quantitative employment data and industry stakeholder dialogs, which led to ; the identification of the following key workforce challenges. Although it is not the FRA’s intent to solve these challenges, the ; FRA continues to foster industry collaboration to increase the visibility of key issues and innovative workforce development ; initiatives.
