| Abstract | This paper contains the results of a study of two Transit Management Training Programs for which UMTA provides fellowships. From 1969 to 1982, 428 fellowships were granted for attending a program at Carnegie-Mellon University, and 769 for attending Northeastern University, the two programs included in the study. The study focuses on determining certain characteristics of the careers of over 400 employees who attended these courses from 15 transit agencies. A typical employee was promoted two and one half years after taking the course. A high percentage of the attendees reported that the courses had dramatically positive effects on them. Another finding is that almost 60 percent of those employees who attended a course remained with the agency that sent them and almost 7 percent transferred to other transit agencies. Excluding involuntary job changes (retirement, dismissal, etc.) only 11 percent of the sample of transit personnel taking the course have left the transit industry. |
