National RTAP Peer Call: Transit Manager 101
You woke up one morning and you were a transit manager! What saved your life when you first started running the show, hiring staff, managing your vehicles, and writing your grants?
National RTAP's Review Board identified developing a "Welcome To Your Job" kit for transit managers as a priority. We are gathering the information and will be integrating your ideas into our welcome wagon package. Tell us your story and the tip that helped you get on the right track.
The Peer Call Series is an initiative for our Peer-to-Peer Program. The calls are an opportunity to share challenges, solutions, and questions about issues in rural and tribal transit with your peers. They are not formal presentations by experts, but a time for information sharing and discussion. Join us for this call on January 27th at 2:30PM EST.
Can't make the call? Please feel free to email questions you have as a new manager, or suggestions for how to help new managers directly to us at info@nationalrtap.org
