HR Committee Renamed

APTA’s Executive Committee recently approved the name change of the Human Resources Committee to the Workforce Development Committee to reflect the growing shift in the committee’s scope of work from one focused mainly on HR policies and regulations to one that more broadly supports the current and future workforce, from emerging students to the front line, mid-level managers and executives.

Committee Chair Paul Larrousse, director of the National Transit Institute, led the initiative to change the name on behalf of the committee leadership.

“The Workforce Development name more precisely reflects the work and direction of the committee, which provides a forum to promote leadership, innovation, collaboration and information sharing among public transportation professionals at all levels,” he said.

This name change also more closely aligns the committee’s work with APTA’s mission. In 2014 APTA released the 2015-2019 Strategic Plan, which identifies workforce development as an area of both challenge and opportunity for the industry. The committee and its subcommittees will continue to help APTA members identify and promote industry best practices, develop and share resources, broaden partnerships with higher education programs to develop and offer skills development programs and encourage people to consider career opportunities in public transportation.
