Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council

http://www.nhi.fhwa.dot.gov/tccc/

Background:

Rebuilding the highway construction task force is an industry priority as agencies across the country face a serious shortage of trained and experienced personnel resulting from attrition and an aging workforce. At the same time, cutting-edge construction and system preservation technologies demand new skills and knowledgeable construction personnel. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has taken a proactive role in the effort to train and certify highway construction and maintenance personnel. In order to streamline the process and avoid duplication of efforts, the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council (TCCC) was formed in September of 2000.

The TCCC is a partnership between the FHWA, State Departments of Transportation (DOTs), the highway transportation industry to support training of highway construction and maintenance personnel. The TCCC's mission is to provide leadership at a national level, develop and maintain a national curriculum for various transportation disciplines, identify training and certification requirements, and coordinate/facilitate training efforts.
