NTI Plans Webinars, Classes on Narrowcasting for Radio Operation

The National Transit Institute (NTI) invites senior public transportation agency executives to participate in training webinars related to the narrowing of two-way UHF and VHF radio systems as required by the Federal Communications Committee by 2013. The webinars will take place on Oct. 19 at 2 p.m. and Nov. 4 at 5 p.m., both Eastern time.  APTA is one of the sponsors of this program.

According to NTI, the change in specifications will require many transit agencies to replace their entire radio infrastructure and subscriber units. Agencies that fail to make the transition face license revocation and possible fines.

NTI has also scheduled three one-day educational sessions for transit professionals involved with the operation of a radio communication system and those planning to be involved with implementing the changes, titled “Narrowbanding: Are You Prepared?” The course is being offered Nov. 8 in Tampa, FL; Dec. 6 in San Francisco; and Dec. 8 in Los Angeles.
Session participants are eligible for six Continuing Education Units.

To register or for more information, visit the NTI web site.
