Transit & Paratransit Management Certificate Program
Over the past year, we have developed a new online version of our top-rated Transit Management and Paratransit Certificate Series. Our goal was not to take what we did in person and duplicate it to the online world, but rather to use our experience and knowledge in transit leadership and harness online technology to create a more
engaged and effective learning experience. Each one-day class is broken into four hours of online learning done at the participant’s convenience prior to the three hours of class engagement with the instructor to discuss, debate and internalize the learning process.
