Texas Transit Leadership Initiative
TxDOT, in conjunction with the Texas Transportation Institute
(TTI) and a small advisory group of transit leaders from across the
state met over the course of two years to establish an initiative to
encourage, promote, and sustain transit leaders in Texas.
Areas of Interest
Guiding Principles
-
TTLI is a comprehensive and deliberate effort to
identify, develop, and support throughout their
entire career, public transportation leaders in
Texas.
-
TTLI is created and sustained through a
collaborative effort between TxDOT and public
transportation providers in Texas.
-
More than an academic program. While formal
training is critical to successful leadership
development, this initiative will also emphasize
various companion strategies such as, internships,
counseling, mentoring, “in place” training tools and
forums designed to enhance and apply leadership
skills to resolve critical issues. Deliberate
combining of formal training with these companion
strategies is critical to the success of the
program. Rather than act as a set of discrete
activities, the combination of formal training and
other strategies create the synergy for a successful
program.
-
TTLI will create a resource environment for
transit agencies individually and collectively to
address their leadership needs - a “One Stop Shop
for Leadership” concept.
