Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Professional Capacity Building (PCB) Academic Support By The West Region Transportation Workforce Center (WRTWC)

Under a succession of Inter-Agency Agreements, the United States Department of Transportation Volpe Center has supported the Intelligent Transportation Systems Professional Capacity Building (ITS PCB) Program since its establishment in 1996. Since 2010, the ITS PCB Program has significantly increased its academic initiatives to ensure that ITS knowledge elements are incorporated into a variety of academic programs at all educational levels. The Volpe Center’s academic ITS PCB efforts have expanded to a level that requires additional support from those inside the academic community. Volpe has contracted with WTI’s West Region Transportation Workforce Center to enrich interaction and partnership with academic institutions and the public agencies and private firms that employ the students educated by these institutions. The goal is to create new networks and vehicles to introduce ITS and transportation systems management and operations (TSMO) careers to a wider student audience, and to expand current ITS academic curriculum and other resources to support workforce connection efforts.
