Abstract:The Northeast Transportation Workforce Center (NETWC) is housed at the University of Vermont Transportation Research Center (UVM TRC). It has collaborated in this effort with the Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT). The NE region includes 11 states - Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland - and the District of Columbia. This covers 181,261 square miles of land, or 5% of the United States (which is approximately 3.8 million miles, in total). In contrast, it contains 15.96% of the U.S. population (Census, 2011). Within these 12 areas, the landscape of the transportation industry varies substantially. It has four of the top 25 U.S. cities in terms of population (New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and Washington, D.C.), while also including two states, and the District of Columbia, out of seven states within the U.S. that have populations that do not exceed 1,000,000 people (i.e., Delaware, Vermont, and the District of Columbia). NETWC engages with partners and regional and national stakeholders to ensure the surface transportation system has a skilled workforce to design, operate, build, and maintain a 21st century transportation workforce to best support the region and country's social and economic vitality.
