Course Description

The Small Urban & Rural Transit Center (SURTC) has developed Principles of Transit Management, an intensive three day course that covers virtually all aspects of transit and paratransit management for rural and small urban operators across America.

This course is designed to cover all of the elements of transit management. The course has eight core modules that cover the key principles of transit management including: Human Resource Management; Financial Management; Administration; Operations & Service Design; Procurement; Vehicle and Facility Maintenance; Safety, Security and Emergency Management; and Drug and Alcohol Program Compliance.

The attachment is a copy of the Table of Contents for the course. Each participant receives a three ring binder that contains both the information presented in the class, plus a reference section that transit managers can use as a resource. The participants also receive CDs which include an Employee Handbook template; Board of Directors training; Drug and Alcohol Recordkeeping; and copies of all of the sample forms from the course.

This course is designed to break down your transit management responsibilities into manageable segments, providing you with a base of information and resources to assist you in navigating through the maze of all your management responsibilities. It is an excellent course for experienced managers as well as those who are relatively new to their positions. It is also appropriate for front-line supervisors and those who are in a position to assist managers.
