In this case, more than twenty transit and commuter rail locations have joined the Consortium. The goal of the Consortium is to develop high-quality, standard training materials that can be used across locations. The Center convenes regular meetings in person and via webinar of experienced subject matter experts to develop full course books with text, good graphic illustrations, Power Points, instructor guides and quizzes. In 2013, that work began with the development of a leadership group and the formal launching of the Consortium at a May conference. Working groups met regularly in person and via webinar, and the full Consortium met again in December in Cleveland. Substantial progress was made on developing full courseware in several subjects. 244046 Initiating a National Joint Transit Industry Rail Vehicle Technician Certification Program: Building for Success, brings together expert management and labor representatives to help design and implement a new joint system for qualifying the skills of transit technicians - transit rail vehicle technicians in this first instance. The E-7 project necessarily builds upon and links to other elements in an emerging joint system of training and apprenticeship for technical jobs in the transit industry. This effort derives from a broader joint program for developing a comprehensive system of consensus standards for transit technical training and a national joint framework for transit apprenticeship. There has been a well-grounded consensus among transit labor and management that development and implementation of a national system of skill qualification makes sense only if it is preceded by the development and implementation of training at the national and local levels. With this foundation, and with the E-7 Panel's commitment to joint industry participation and consensus, this project aims to achieve the goal of widespread adoption of this emerging joint national system of training and qualification through local training and qualification agreements.In 2013, the Center worked with several transit properties on piloting systems of both hands-on and written assessments. The Center also submitted a final report to the Transit Cooperative Research Program on the E-7 project and met with industry leadership in the APTA Rail CEO committee to explore next steps. 200256 Career Pathways and Career Ladders for the Frontline Workforce: The Center successfully submitted a proposal in the FTA Workforce Innovation competition for a program to develop career pathway and career ladder programs in five designated locations while also working on national replication of this effort. A May 2013 conference brought together career ladder and career pathway participants from Philadelphia, Utah, West Virginia, Cleveland and Des Moines. For career ladders, the Center is helping the Des Moines Area Transit and ATU Local 441 to develop a functioning bus maintenance apprenticeship program. Similarly, the Greater Cleveland Regional Transportation Authority and ATU Local 268 are working with the Center on development of a rail car apprenticeship. In West Virginia, the Center is working with the statewide Career and Technical Education System at the WV Department of Education and with the Rahall Institute for Transportation at Marshall University. WV has a strong system of CTE, and the goal of this effort is to strengthen exposure of students to options in transportation careers. In Philadelphia, the Center is working with the Keystone Development Partnership, TWU Local 234, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority and Philadelphia Academies. This project will build on some good prior work in youth outreach. A partnership between ATU Local 382 and the Utah Transportation Authority will develop new programs for youth outreach there. 136248 Transit Elevator-Escalator Training Consortium 100259 National Training & Certification Program for Transit Vehicle Maintenance Instructors 91980 Improving Transit Bus Operator Health, Wellness and Retention 69010 Other programs 41473 Transit Technology Career Ladder Partnership 438970 1197747 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 1 14 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 CA MD NY X Liz Waller 3015654713 8403 Colesville Road Suite 825 Silver Spring MD 20910 Lawrence Hanley Chair 3.00 X X 0 0 0 James Little Executive Vice Chair - until 12/2013 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Brian J Turner Sec. until 12/2013 - Exec Dir. 40.00 X X 112371 0 23113 Joseph Calabrese Secretary 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Joseph M Casey Treasurer 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael Allegra Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Bloomingdale Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Jeff Brooks Director - until 12/2013 3.00 X 0 0 0 Dale Marsico Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Melaniphy Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Molofsky Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Paaswell Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Beverly Scott Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Rodney Slater Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Edward Wytkind Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Waller Director of Finance 40.00 X 89625 0 5011 John Clark Director of Workforce Development 40.00 X 107046 0 27896 309042 0 56020 2 0 0 0 0 1062861 549697 1612558 360 360 Miscellaneous income 900099 3565 3565 3565 1616483 0 0 3925 X 230120 97548 132572 523697 503303 20394 16987 16251 736 231785 189701 42084 64284 52070 12214 30736 30736 181368 170091 11277 48859 18615 30244 106291 106291 40339 39262 1077 110906 110906 1331 1331 1128 1128 2384 2384 Payroll services 3650 0 3650 Other 1778 1778 Dues and subscriptions 998 998 1596641 1197747 398894 0 221034 162081 178043 163402 86303 175170 23817 55098 41306 35814 560 5492 7932 7932 517689 569175 128037 148647 55503 66537 183540 215184 X 334149 353991 334149 353991 517689 569175 19842 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 1875617 2528452 4471320 2694185 1612558 13182132 1875617 2528452 4471320 2694185 1612558 13182132 1049868 12132264 282 298 466 674 360 2080 780 1533 1322 150 3565 7350 13191562 4000 0.91970 0.99950 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10, Explanation of Other Income: Miscellaneous - 2009 Amount: $ 780. 2010 Amount: $ 1,533. 2011 Amount: $ 1,322. 2012 Amount: $ 150. 2013 Amount: $ 3,565.

Form 990, Part III, line 2 During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Center realigned its' focus. This resulted in the creation of new program services to the public. These new programs and their impact can be found in Part 3, lines 4a-4d of the our Form 990. Form 990, Part III, line 3 The Center successfully completed the work under the Transit Green Jobs Training Partnership, funded under the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, on August 31, 2012. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 The draft Form 990 is reviewed by the Director of Finance and compared to the audited financial statements for the year. Before issuance of the final draft Form 990, the Financial Director reviews the form with the Center Director for his approval. The federal Form 990 is made available to the Executive Committee at the time of the audited financial statment review, if available. It is also e-mailed to the entire governing body before filing with the Internal Revenue Service. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The Center's policies and procedures handbook clearly states its policy on a Conflict of Interest of employees and Board members. Each new staff and Board member is required to review a copy of this policy and to acknowledge in writing that he or she has done so. Each staff and Board member annually completes a disclosure confirming that he or she does not have a Conflict of Interest or identifying any relationships, positions or circumstances in which he or she is involved that he or she believes could contribute to a Conflict of Interest arising. The Conflict of Interest policy is reviewed annually by each member of the Board of Directors. Any changes to the policy are communicated immediately to all staff and Board members. If a staff or Board member has an interest in a proposed transaction with the organization in the form of a significant personal financial interest in the transaction or in any organization involved in the transaction, or holds a position as trustee, director, or officer in any such organization, he or she must make full disclosure of such interest before any discussion or negotiation of such transaction. Any Board or committee member who is aware of a potential conflict of interest with respect to any matter coming before the Board or Committee shall not be present for any discussion of or vote in connection with the matter. In addition, the Center's projects are actively discussed and reviewed at additional Board meetings and in communications throughout the year. Board members are aware that they should reveal any conflicts in the event that a new project would present such a situation. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 To determine salary ranges for a cluster of similar positions, the Center uses compensation surveys from sources such as the Maryland Nonprofits Salary Survey, Greater Washington Area Association Compensation and Benefits Study, Nonprofit Times Salary Survey, and the Office of Personnel Management salary table. Individual salaries of officers and key employees are then determined by the Center's management team based on the person's qualifications and experience. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The Center's OMB Circular A-133 audit report/Single Audit reporting package is filed with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse on an annual basis. All other documents, including the conflict of interest policy, are available upon request. Form 990, Part IX, line 11g Consulting: Program service expenses 6,283.
