National Transit Frontline Workforce Training Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Transportation to set up a national transit workforce center and give grants to a qualified nonprofit organization to run it. The nonprofit must operate nationally and have experience in transit workforce training, technical assistance, and outreach, including through labor-management partnerships. The center would develop and provide training programs for transit providers serving urban, suburban, rural, and Tribal areas, share educational materials, offer technical help, and analyze transit workforce data. The nonprofit would be allowed to consult with the Federal Transit Administration, transit providers, professional associations, and frontline worker representatives, and would be required to consider feedback from transit providers when building training programs.
