Client: Wabtec Corporation
Challenge: The Federal Railroad Administration mandated Positive Train Control implementation across the U.S., requiring thousands of personnel to be trained on new systems in a short time.
Solution: Ryan led the design, development, and rollout of a comprehensive technical training program for 5,000+ personnel across 34 rail organizations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Australia, and Africa. The curriculum was formally approved by the FRA — a rare distinction in the industry.
Results:

• Trained thousands of employees ahead of compliance deadlines.

• Reduced operational errors by 40% within the first six months of deployment.

• Created reusable, scalable training assets still in use by multiple railroads.
