As the transit industry moves ahead into the 21st Century, four main issues are emerging in maintenance departments: a dramatic increase in new technologies in the vehicles themselves and the diagnostics and tools used to repair them; a number of new external regulations addressing environmental and access issues; an increase in focus on vehicle safety, and the need to attract new and retain existing talent in the industry. All of these issues point to a need for an increased focus on training in transit maintenance departments. In response to the growing need for maintenance training, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) developed the Florida Maintenance Training Program (FMTP) in 1990. This innovative program, administered since its inception by the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR), provides maintenance training to all of Florida's public transportation providers as a partial solution to maintenance training needs.
