Transportation Leadership Development Program (TLDP)


PTG has partnered with Virginia W. Blair to provide a dynamic leadership program designed to give transportation professionals an opportunity to significantly improve their decision-making and leadership skills. It provides a framework for each participant to shape his or her own unique leadership style.

Participants have been graduating from Transportation Leadership Development for more than ten years. This program is designed specifically for transit professionals in North Carolina and the neighboring states.

This 12-week program combines self-study materials and seminars. During the course of study, participants work through exercises that promote a deeper understanding of effective decision-making, employee motivation, teamwork, and practical applications of creative ideas. The course is very applications oriented, giving students an array of activities and practices that can be immediately implemented within their organizations.

Each student must design and implement a project for their organization that makes improvements in a key area. Each class also works as a team to design and implement a group project that benefits the participating organizations.

One of the strengths of the course is the ability to work with a variety of transportation professionals. The course participants include individuals within large urban and community transportation organizations, those employed by states and municipalities and those employed by transit services contractors, individuals in administrative, management, and technical positions. The overview of transportation services throughout the state, and in neighboring states provides participants with an appreciation for the “big picture” of mobility opportunities and challenges.
