Business Plan Development Training

Are your days filled with too many issues demanding your immediate attention so it is difficult, if not impossible, to take time to do strategic planning for your transit operations? Often planning has to take the "back seat" to the realities of day-to-day problem solving. A business plan is a systematic analysis of your existing system, your present and potential customer base, your services, facilities, budget, capital needs and governance structure. It also involves an assessment of your future service and management options. It looks back to the previous few years to analyze trends, and it looks forward to estimate future needs for equipment, vehicles, facilities, and levels of service. This workshop will help you clarify your organization's goals and priorities, understand your budget, evaluate current and future operating and capital needs, and serve as a launching point for your agency's decision making processes.
