This synthesis report will be of interest to senior managers charged with procuring, implementing, operating, and maintaining on-board electrical and electronic (E/E) equipment and systems. The purpose is to document training practices at a sampling of transit agencies concerning the application and repair of advanced on-board electronics so that key personnel have the knowledge needed to make informed decisions. Synthesis objectives were to examine the level of E/E training being provided by transit agencies to highlight innovative and effective training approaches and, based on the findings, to provide agencies with the opportunity to improve their training programs. The primary focus is on maintenance.
