Combined with the requirement for coordination among programs receiving specific federal funds for transportation, the opportunity for transit advocates to gain a seat at the table for planning and implementation has grown.

Participants should expect to commit to a minimum of 15 concentrated hours on the course activities over the six-week span of the course.

A limited enrollment offers an environment in which participants will get to know the course instructor as well as their peers.
