The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) reorganized its system of job progression by eliminating seniority as the leading determinant for promotion and requiring training and testing of individuals desiring to advance in their line of progression. The project provided SEPTA's Automotive Equipment Maintenance Department employees with training in certain basic skill areas in order to increase individual productivity and system reliability. Formal classroom training was provided in five areas of expertise: diesel engines; transmissions; chassis; air-conditioning; and electrical systems. The ultimate goal of the program was the eventual establishment of an apprentice-type program for maintenance mechanics and was eventually expanded even further to include foremen and superintendent trainee programs.
