Committee members are key industry leaders and government transportation entities that can activate their networks, resources and expertise to highlight this issue and point to viable training solutions. The committee is chaired by Heather Mewhinney, director of human resources at Kriska Transportation Group and co-chaired by Caroline Blais, recruiting manager at Kriska.
