The Advanced Transportation Technology and Energy Initiative (ATTEi) was established by the California Community College’s Economic and Workforce Development Program.  In particular it was created as a means for keeping competitive as a national leader in advanced transportation technologies and to transform the workforce in the rapidly developing, technology-driven transportation industry, while improving the environment and stimulating the economy. 

Over the fifteen years since the ATTEi was created, it has and continues to respond to this guiding principle by providing an array of transportation technology and related technical education, assistance and outreach programs throughout California The results are consistent, replicable curriculum, services and programs tailored to the needs of each region and employers in California To acknowledge the interrelated nature of energy use between the transportation sector and other sectors, in July 2006 the initiative was formally changed to include Energy training and services.

The ATTEiI is guided by a Statewide Initiative Director in the Chancellor’s Office, Peter Davis, and has ten (10) Centers, strategically located throughout the Community College Regions in California
