Advancements in the automation of transit vehicles will likely have significant impacts; however, the possible effects on the public-transportation workforce is largely unknown. This is due partly to the fledgling state of transit vehicle automation and partly to the significant amount of uncertainty about how and when automated transit services become more prevalent.

The TRB Transit Cooperative Research Program's TCRP Research Report 232: The Impacts of Vehicle Automation on the Public Transportation Workforce provides an analysis of the possible impacts of automation on the public transportation workforce.

Supplemental to the report are:

· Staffing Count Survey

· APTATech Workshop Presentation

· Workshop Notes

· Employee Survey

· Survey Flyer

· Industry Webinar Presentation

· Industry Poll Data

· Task Impact Ratios, and

· Workforce Effect Estimates.
