Transit Manager Certificate Program

The Transit Manager Certificate Program (TMCP) was developed by the Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) Office of Freight, Logistics and Passenger Operations. Through FDOT's, insight and innovation, the TCMP offers professional development to Florida's public transportation managers, and provides them with the educational tools and resources necessary to solve today's public transportation challenges. The program, sponsored and directed by FDOT, will be administered by the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) and offered in cooperation with the University of South Florida's (USF) Continuing Education's University College and CUTR. The Program will be structured to offer a combination of online courses, self-paced computer based training, traditional classroom courses and peer to peer exchanges. By being at the forefront of the progressive educational movement and integrating technological advancements, students have easy access to courses that are relevant to today's public transportation professional. TMCP will provide training in various supervisory and management principles including, but not limited, to leadership, law, finance, supervision, ethics, business communications and performance appraisals. In addition to general supervision and management courses, the TMCP will also include seminars geared specifically to the transit operations, maintenance and administrative challenges within agencies. The seminars, along with networking opportunities, will challenge students with real-world issues and projects to consider and solve. By presenting contemporary seminars and subsequent group projects, students will be fully-engaged in their education development and apply their newly acquired knowledge.
