Greater Dayton RTA

Dayton, Ohio

In today’s challenging operating environment, a commitment to continuing education is a necessity if we are to achieve our mission. In Dayton, we have started at the policy level by investing in seven professional positions to lead training efforts in the Transportation and Fleet Maintenance and Maintenance-of-Way departments at RTA. Our Longworth Campus renovations include expanded training facilities and upgrades in technology for the classrooms. Additional investments include adoption of nationally recognized programs, such as the Smith System, an apprentice program with Sinclair Community College, introduction of focused supervision, and KPI data to assess and personalize individual operator and technician training needs.

The first step is identifying the outcome you hope to achieve. Break actions down into technical, safety, and customer service components so they can be used to create the training materials. Focus on specific training details, not generalities, to support individual success within roles. The final step is the feedback component. Measure outcomes, determine outcome trends that are not as successful as the agency would like, and gather feedback so trainers can review and improve the training materials.
