What is Hawkeye’s RTTC and Transportation Instruction About?

The Regional Transportation Training Center (RTTC), located just south of Hawkeye’s main campus, is the area’s premier facility for short-term and continuing driver training. The center features a large driving range with a 26-foot road, inclines, and turns, along with modern classrooms, drive-through truck bays, and advanced driving simulators. This hands-on environment offers unmatched training opportunities for both instructors and students.

Transportation training focuses on preparing individuals for careers in commercial driving and logistics while also helping employers keep their workforce trained and compliant. Training is hands-on, practical, and often leads directly to high-demand, well-paying jobs in trucking, distribution, and transportation services. Additionally, employers use Hawkeye’s Transportation programs for ongoing compliance, refresher, and recertification needs.
