National Transit Frontline Workforce Training Act

This bill would require the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to set up a national transit workforce center. The Secretary would give grants to a nationally operating nonprofit organization with experience in transit workforce development to run the center. The center would create and provide training programs for public transit workers, including training suited to urban, suburban, rural, and Tribal transit services. It would also produce educational materials, offer technical assistance, analyze transit workforce data, and do outreach to the transit industry. The nonprofit would be allowed to consult with the Federal Transit Administration, transit agencies, professional associations, and worker representatives, and would be required to consider feedback from transit providers.
