Recognizing that all these functions are inter-related, this course is intended to lead attendees through the service development, analysis, and modification process, leading to development of the runcut, or operators’ work assignments.

This course will be at Broward County Transit on July 30-31, 2012. Times to be determined.

    The purpose of these FREE webcasts is threefold:

    1. Increase knowledge of transportation professionals and policymakers in Florida and the rest of the country by sharing the latest findings of transportation research.
    2. Increase the reach of technology transfer, especially to those transportation professionals who are unable to travel to state and national conferences, due to time and cost constraints.
    3. To encourage discussion among participants and receive input on subjects requiring future research.

    There have now been 18 completed webcasts to date and they continue to take place every other Thursday from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. EST Click here to view past webcasts and see a schedule of upcoming webcasts.
