Program Benefits
The nine courses in this program provide key management and industry essentials for transportation professionals. You will gain a thorough understanding of what it takes to be a successful transportation manager. You will learn basic principles of management, marketing, risk management, human resources, operations, budgeting and leadership. You will see how transit systems can be designed, operated and monitored to enhance performance. You will enhance your skills, abilities and knowledge as a manager in the transit industry which will allow you to have a greater impact on the financial well-being of your organization.
As a participant, you must attend eight of the nine courses to receive a Transit and Paratransit Management Certificate from the University of the Pacific Westgate Center for Management Development. Completion of all nine courses earns you six Continuing Education Units (CEUs). The quality of the instructors is uniformly excellent. Class size is limited, so participants have a chance to interact with each other and with the course leaders.
