Abstract Growth in highway spending and the loss of approximately one-third of the nation's professional engineers in state highway agencies will create significant problems and opportunities over the next decade. Careers in transportation will be attractive, rewarding and interesting, with promise for growing responsibility and advancement. This paper describes the dimensions of the problem and suggests approaches that should result in dynamic future-oriented organizations. Recruitment, education and training, compensation, professional satisfaction, skill requirements and other aspects of human resources management must be carefully matched to meet changing needs and skill requirements.
