Traction Power Consortium to Meet in Philadelphia

Posted March 2022

Launched at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, the national Traction Power Training Consortium will have its first in-person event in Philadelphia’s Center City, April 26-29, 2022. This event is a series of meetings where traction power subject matter experts from consortium agencies continue their work with ITLC instruction designers to develop training for new and experienced traction power technicians. To date, the group has completed seven of the 15 courses that train traction power workers how to maintain and troubleshoot substation, overhead, and third rail electrical systems.

The ITLC is grateful to SEPTA General Manager/CEO Leslie Richards for agreeing to host these meetings at SEPTA’s headquarters located at 1234 Market Street, Philadelphia. When you register with us, the ITLC will apply a special group rate for accommodations at the Canopy Hilton Center City hotel which is only a short walk from our meeting space.

The consortium welcomes all those interested in traction power maintenance training to join this event. Please contact Amri Joyner or Brandon Liu for more information.
