Abstract:

Described in this paper are the design and implementation of a transportation executive institute for chief administrative officers of state departments of transportation (DOTs). Although education and training programs for state DOT staff are widely available, there has been little transportation education for chief administrators. The objectives of the Transportation Executive Institute are to contribute to the understanding of political, technological, social, legal, and economic forces affecting transportation management; increase the understanding of current issues in transportation; and provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and concepts related to transportation. The institute curriculum was developed on the basis of needs assessment surveys of the states. The results provided a priority ranking of organizatonal and policy issues of concern to chief administrators. The key elements of the success of the program have been (a) assuring that those who attended participated in program development, (b) recruiting outstanding program faculty, and (c) providing a comfortable and attractive learning environment.
