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.
