We’re kicking off the year with fresh insight on one of the transit industry’s biggest challenges: building a workforce that works better for people. Our first Workforce Management blog for 2026 goes beyond traditional hiring talk - it explores how transit agencies can make jobs more accessible, flexible, and rewarding so they attract and retain the people our communities rely on every day.
In this post, you’ll discover:
• Why the real solution isn’t just hiring more people, it’s rethinking how transit jobs fit into people’s lives.
• Five practical strategies agencies are using to broaden participation and build sustainable teams.
• Insights from research showing what works when barriers are removed.
