Abstract
The lack of workforce diversity has made it challenging for transportation agencies to
incorporate resiliency into their long-term plans effectively. This project developed a
framework for creating an inclusive and functional workforce environment for transportation
agencies in the southeast region. The project identifies existing gaps, predicts future needs, and
captures the role transportation agencies, research centers, Departments of Transportations
(DOTs), and professional organizations can play to recruit, train, and maintain a diverse and
inclusive workforce. This research will ultimately contribute to creating a resilient
transportation workforce structure in the southeast region. The goal of this project is to present
an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) -focused framework for promoting diversity and
inclusion within the workforce.
