Advances in technology, improvements in data collection and analysis, shifts in public expectations, and an increased emphasis on innovation are changing the way transportation agencies do business. In order to meet these changing demands, transportation agencies need to build new skills and capabilities both within the workforce and at the organization level. This session focuses on identifying the new skills needed today and predicting additional skills and capabilities agencies will need in the future. The diverse panel of professionals will present their ideas and dialogue with the audience on the strategies agencies can use to fill the gaps in skills and prepare for the future.
