Resource Summary: State Department of Transportation (DOT) transit offices face emerging, critical program management challenges: managing adequate staffing, increasing regulatory burdens, and inconsistent internal and external business practices. DOTs also encounter difficulties in attracting and retaining talented employees, such as the role of new and emerging technology, differing generational expectations, and the time required for DOTs to adapt to change. The NCHRP 20-65/Task 80 project focused on capacity building, or the process of planning for and managing workforce transformation, to develop a broader understanding of capacity building needs and options for state DOT transit offices. The Best Practice Resource Guide includes strategies and tools that state DOT transit offices can use either in their own office or across the DOT to address workforce capacity challenges.
