Traction Power Training Consortium

The International Transportation Learning Center (ITLC) organizes multiple national training consortia to develop standards-based national training courseware for frontline occupations in public transportation organizations.

Launched by the ITLC in March 2020, the Traction Power Training develops introductory and advanced instruction-ready and interactive courses on traction power maintenance that build on APTA-approved and industry-recognized training standards. Course topics include: worker safety, troubleshooting traction power systems, power distribution, substations, overhead and third rail power distribution, and lifting and rigging operations.
