For 3 days conference participants deliberated on the major education and training issues facing the transportation profession. The first half of the conference focused on the numbers and types of transportation professionals desired by industry and government. Conference participants were assigned to one of five workshops in which the demand for transportation engineers, planners, transit operations personnel, technicians, and analysts for private sector firms was examined. After discussion of the demand characteristics for each type of transportation professional, the second half of the conference was devoted to an examination of the challenges faced by universities and training programs in supplying these types of transportation professionals. Special attention was given to the role of research, the development of curricula, and the importance of attracting women and minorities to the profession. The report contains the findings of the conference and the resource papers.
