• Abstract:
  This proposal extends the delivery of the recently developed graduate Certificate in Transportation ; Planning to a wider audience through the establishment of an Executive Certificate Program by distance ; (eCertificate). While the need for an interdisciplinary approach to transportation is widely recognized by the ; professional community, there are few educational programs that address the field of transportation in a ; truly comprehensive, interdisciplinary manner. Texas A&M University’s (TAMU’s) university-wide graduate ; Certificate in Transportation Planning was established in August 2008 to address this need. This program ; has proved to be very successful. A limitation of the existing certificate program is that it is available only to ; graduate students at TAMU in College Station. The eCertificate program extends the delivery of the ; existing certificate to a wider audience of professionals interested in transportation in selected metropolitan ; areas in Texas. Preliminary indications suggest that an audience for the certificate exists in major ; metropolitan areas in Texas, especially Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. The certificate will ; increase access, expand Texas A&M’s transportation curriculum, and enhance the university’s position as ; a national leader in transportation education.
