Transit Leadership Initiative
Record Type: UTC
The purpose of this project is to research and develop a leadership development program that addresses the needs of rural and small urban transit managers at each stage of a career along a continuum. The continuum begins with new employees just entering the industry who need professional development. This project provides these new employees exposure to the industry and focuses on transit manager internship opportunities. The continuum extends to senior staff members who are anticipating retirement and require leadership development to focus on leaving a legacy, succession planning, and mentoring. This project provides the necessary foundation to define all elements of the leadership program with support from industry participants. This project will then identify a sponsor for implementation. The project goal is to establish a leadership development program that has value to the industry and can be sustainable. This project involves the collaborative efforts of Texas Transportation Institute's Transit Mobility Program and the Texas Department of Transportation, Public Transportation Division (TxDOT-PTN).
