Developing Transportation Agency Leaders

Abstract:

Partly supported by FHWA, the TRB report outlines challenges to developing leaders in transportation agencies and suggests areas for focus. The report stresses the importance of recruitment, candidate selection, and mentoring among other strategies. At the time of the report's research, it indicated that 63% of state Departments of Transportation relied on outside providers for leadership training.
