Conclusions
The implementation of the transit management focus area as part of the Certificate in
Transportation Planning in Fall 2012 provides students the unique opportunity to gain
applicable knowledge to pursue a career in public transportation. The certificate advisory
committee's efforts to craft a curriculum from available courses in the Department of
Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning, Department of Civil Engineering, Mays
Business School, and Bush School of Government and Public Service provide a foundation
for students with a passion for learning more about public transportation.
The development of the focus area provides a first step in providing formal transit
education in Texas. Next steps include developing a program for placing students in
transit-related internships, creating opportunities for transit professionals to speak to
students on the Texas A&M University campus, and finally, offering the certificate focus
area as part of the Certificate in Transportation Planning eCertificate. The offering of the
eCertificate will make the program available to mid-career professionals working remotely,
anywhere in the world. The committee expects the program to have a positive impact on
the transit industry inside and outside Texas.15
