The “Transportation Leadership” concentration is a new initiative targeted at working professionals who are looking for career advancement to leadership roles in the transportation profession. This online degree offers a blend of technical and leadership courses and is offered in collaboration with the Engineering Leadership and Engineering Innovation Institutes at UF. This program is open to students who have a bachelor’s degree (not limited to civil engineering) and work experience in a transportation-related field.

Upon admission to the program, students will first take the core course “Fundamentals of the Transportation Profession” which is focused on the past, present, and future of the profession. Guest Speakers will address various themes such as institutions, public policy, financing, economics, public engagement, communications, leadership, management and select technical issues. The students will take three additional core classes: Engineering Leadership, Fundamentals of Engineering Project Management and Engineering Innovation.  The students can take the remaining six courses from a wide array of online transportation-related courses offered by the UFTI. There are also opportunities for transferring-in relevant graduate credits from other institutions. Professionals working for the state of Florida may be eligible for tuition waiver. For admission and other questions please contact Dr. Siva Srinivasan. Students can start this program in both Spring and Fall semesters.

TRANSPORTATION EQUITY CERTIFICATion short course

Access to safe, reliable and affordable transportation is a right for all individuals – yet it is particularly difficult to provide in many areas, particularly rural locations. This can mean the difference between access to medical care, job opportunities and food sources or the lack thereof and those with easy access often take it for granted and don’t realize how many people live without it. One important step to changing that disparity is by educating planners and engineers on this topic, which is why we are offering a two-part training series offered in a four-hour block held over four days that leads to obtaining a Transportation Equity Fundamentals Certification. Each training is an eight-hour live, online course for a total of 16 Professional Development Hours. For more information and to register.
