OPEN SESSION JULY 16, 2026 PAGE THREE OF THREE
UPDATE - WORKFORCE AND ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT – ALL ACCESS TOUR TRAINING PROGRAM Driven by feedback obtained from the MDTA Operations Leadership Team, the Workforce and Organizational Development Unit (the unit) developed a two-hour, hands-on workshop focused on the MDTA’s core Human Resources systems. The unit conducted 15 sessions across the 8 maintenance facilities while successfully training 231 staff members in the MDTA Operations Division in what has been hailed as “The All Access Tour”. The All Access Tour demonstrated that bringing training directly to the workforce is a great way to close skill gaps. In addition, it was noted that by delivering hands-on support to the MDTA Division of Operations employees, the unit resolved immediate digital literacy issues and gained valuable insight into the team’s operational needs. The systems discussed in the sessions included the Maryland Department of Transportation’s Human Resources Information System (core Human Resources platform), Cornerstone (the MDTA’s learning management system), MTrack (the payroll system), Workday (the employee benefits system), and ReACT (the employee password reset tool). UPDATE TRAVEL PLAZA UPDATE – ANNUAL UPDATE ON THE MDTA’s TRAVEL PLAZAS Mr. Simon Najar updated the Finance and Administration Committee on the current progress of Travel Plaza operations at the Maryland House and the Chesapeake House. The update included a brief overview of the contract award and agreement, the contract awardee’s (Areas USA) history and expertise, current operations at the travel plazas, and the future outlook. VOTE TO ADOURN There being no further business, the meeting of the Finance Committee adjourned at 9:42 a.m., following a motion by Member Rosen. Member Carroll seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved.
