Upcoming Executive Level Leadership Training Program (LTP)

Registration is now closed. 

About this Program: The Leadership Training Program is designed for Minnesota public transit systems to enhance leadership skills and competencies to advance leadership and management within their organization.

Executives will participate in 4 two-day training days and receive 1-hour coaching sessions and participate in a 1-hour peer networking group every other month along with some pre-work and assignments.

The cost of the training is covered by RTAP and breakfast and lunch will be provided on training days. Participants are responsible for their own lodging, meals outside of training hours, and mileage, but scholarships may be available from RTAP if you don’t have funds in your operating budget to cover these costs.
