From CTAA:
"We can be your partner in developing customized training courses in any area of critical need. We will help to meet your customized training needs with our own staff and resources, or will help you identify and obtain the particular training assistance you need for any conceivable situation.
The training courses and certification programs provide a foundation for transit leaders and innovators to better serve their communities and passengers.
Many of our courses are offered on-site at different organizations, tailored to meet specific needs. This on-site training is convenient, cost effective and allows you to assist in the design and delivery of the program.
Program topics can be selected from the existing courses or can be custom designed based on the interests and needs of the group. Several organizations with the same needs may collaborate to reduce costs.
All courses are coordinated by our Training Coordinator, Len Cahill, who will assist in identifying potential partnerships and collaborations."

Roles & Responsibilities of Transit Board Members |
|
|
|
PennDOT and PENNTRAIN have developed a board training program to be presented on-site or at a location of your choice. This 3 hour session is designed to emphasize the unique responsibilities of board members and their role in the community. It is important that Pennsylvania’s public transportation systems operate effectively and efficiently and be positioned to maximize resources and opportunities. It is the responsibility of the transit board of directors to adequately understand how a system operates, including its legal responsibilities related to funding, planning, Act 44 and other related legislation and regulations. No matter how seasoned your board of directors is, this training will provide a fresh outlook on how a supportive and knowledgeable board of directors can enhance your organization.

There is no charge for course.
