A9. Training and creating institutional support are huge here.
For unionized agencies, engaging unions early is keyβ Partnering with union leadership can help build support for ZE technology and helps the agency understand the needs of different depts. -Adrienne

A9. Are you a transit agency looking to deploy #zeroemission buses? Check out our Guidebook for deploying ZEBs, which includes best practices, lessons learned, and expert insights to help you achieve the maximum benefit and mitigate risks. https://t.co/1jrVzEb3lS #ClimateTransit
@Go_CTE A9. @APTA_Transit has some great examples of how transit agencies like @rideact, @MetroTransitMN, and @metrolosangeles have trained their teams on electric buses! π§βππ #ClimateTransit https://t.co/qJ9dgneKJ8
A9. Without a carefully developed workforce development plan, agencies will struggle with the skills demands of emerging #ZEB technologies. CTE is working with partners like @NationalTWC to identify skills gaps and create a foundation for training curricula. #ClimateTransit
A9. Workforce development has been a continual focus of conversations with our agency partners as well as the FTA and national policymakers. Partnerships and cooperation across the industry are required for adequate training of the industry's workforce. #ClimateTransit
