"The TranSim simulator system will offer options, conditions, and scenarios to students that we cannot provide using live equipment" stated Todd Taylor, Director of Adult and Post-Secondary Education. "Not only will our CDL students benefit from exposure to simulator technology, but we envision significant interest and demand for additional training from our local transportation-related industries" stated Mr. Taylor.
