Connections for Tomorrow's Transportation Workforce
The WRTWC embarked on a collaborative international project, “Developing an Accessible Transportation Environment for People with Disabilities: A Resources and Curriculum Sharing Partnership,” with partners at Moscow State University. The project gathered and shared resources on best practices in curriculum development, professional training, and providing transportation services to people with disabilities in small urban and rural environments in Russia and the United States. As part of that effort, the WRTWC collected research literature as well as practical guidebooks developed on this topic, shared below.
