This course has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 crisis. As an alternative, Ecolane University is a helpful tool that provides on-demand training for new employees.
This session is designed for individuals that have little to no experience with the Ecolane DRT product or have changed roles since the time your agency completed Ecolane training. Attendees will learn processes related to reservations, reporting, scheduling, and dispatch. Perfect for new employees or employees with new roles or perspectives.
Cost: No charge
Equipment: Attendees must bring a laptop that has Google Earth installed and can connect to Wi-Fi. PennTRAIN has a limited number of laptops that can be loaned to attendees, though we ask that you provide your own if possible. Loaner laptops will be allocated upon registration on a first-come, first-served basis.
Shuttle Transport: CATA has very limited parking options at this time. To best accommodate you, CATA is providing a shuttle, which will depart from the front of the Courtyard by Marriott twenty (20) minutes before the training is scheduled to begin. The Courtyard is located at 1730 University Drive, State College, PA 16801, and parking there is free and plentiful. The shuttle will return to the Courtyard at the conclusion of the training. Please utilize this shuttle to avoid parking at CATA and potentially impacting their operations.
Lodging: PennTRAIN has secured a block of rooms at the Courtyard by Marriott, located at 1730 University Drive, State College, PA 16801, for the nights of June 9 and 10, 2020 at the government rate of $103/night plus taxes.
