Transit & Community Transportation Management Certificate
Willamette University’s Atkinson Graduate School of Management presents a unique training opportunity for people working in or toward a transit management career. The program grew from the need for transit management development courses and the curriculum was designed
by professionals in the field of transit and community transportation management and operations. The program is also structured to meet the constraints of working professionals in terms of class scheduling, duration and content and the learning characteristics of adults. The overall value of the program has been enhanced with the awarding of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to participants completing the full requirements of the certificate program.
Completion of this certificate program qualifies as a prerequisite to the Certified Community Transit Manager (CCTM) certification exam of the Community Transportation Association of America (CTAA).
