Professional Development Committee

The Professional Development Committee works to strengthen the knowledge base of Michigan transportation personnel by providing valuable training programs in all facets of pupil transportation.  Professional development plays an essential role in the pupil transportation industry, serving as the bridge between where prospective and experienced transportation managers, drivers and staff are currently – and where they must be to meet future challenges.
