Workforce Task Force: Using Project Management (PM) Tools to Drive Equity in Transit Engagement

LIT Workforce Task Force: Peer-to-Peer Training Series

The LIT Workforce Task Force Peer-to-Peer Training Series is designed to provide practical, real-world learning opportunities led by professionals working within the public transportation industry. This initiative focuses on peer-level knowledge sharing, where individuals at similar career stages exchange insights, strategies, and tools they use in their daily work.

Unlike traditional top-down training models, this series allows professionals at the entry and mid-career levels to present directly to their peers. By doing so, participants gain relatable perspectives from colleagues who understand the challenges, opportunities, and realities of their roles. These sessions also provide managers and agency leadership with valuable insight into the experiences, ideas, and innovations emerging from the workforce.

The Peer-to-Peer Training Series supports LIT’s mission to strengthen professional development, build leadership capacity, and create collaborative learning environments across the transit industry.

First Training Session
The first session will be presented by Carina Solis, Community Affairs Representative at TriMet, titled:

“Workforce Task Force: Using Project Management (PM) Tools to Drive Equity in Transit Engagement.”

In this session, Carina will share practical project management tools and strategies that can help transit professionals organize community engagement efforts, improve collaboration, and advance equitable outcomes in transit planning and outreach.
