The purpose of this synthesis is to document training practices at a sampling of transit agencies concerning the application and repair of advanced on-board electronics so that key personnel have the knowledge needed to make informed decisions. Synthesis results indicated that senior managers with a commitment to provide employee training are behind the successful implementation of advanced electronic technology. The objectives of the synthesis were to examine the level of electrical and electronic (E/E) training being provided by transit agencies to highlight innovative and effective training approaches and, based on findings from the conclusions, to provide agencies with the opportunity to improve their training programs. Because maintenance is an area that is often overlooked, this synthesis gives it the greatest focus. (A)
