Registration is now open for the first courses to be held at the International Association of Public Transport’s (UITP) newly created North American Regional Training Center.
The courses at the training center are supported by a partnership with NJ TRANSIT and Rutgers Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT).
The training courses bring together public transportation professionals worldwide to hear and share best practices and learn new strategies and tactics on topics ranging from electric buses to fare management, rail operations, and public transportation fundamentals.
Courses will be offered in July, September, October, and November of 2023 at Rutgers CAIT in Piscataway, NJ.
In March of this year, the three organizations announced their partnership to establish UITP’s first Regional Training Center in North America on the campus of Rutgers University.
"NJ TRANSIT marks the beginning of a new era in public transit training in the United States, with the opening of registration for four new courses this year,” said Kevin S. Corbett, NJ TRANSIT president/CEO. “We’re proud to partner with UITP and Rutgers CAIT to establish UITP’s first Regional Training Center in North America, providing a unique opportunity to access the expertise and insights of UITP’s network of trainers from the top transit agencies around the world.”
The four training programs for 2023 are:
Public Transport Fundamentals for North America – July 10-12
Electric Buses: Fleet & Infrastructure Planning, Operations, and Maintenance for North America – Sept. 27-29
Rail Operations and Maintenance for North America – Oct. 2-4

“UITP is delighted to open registration to all our 2023 North American training, together with our partners NJ TRANSIT and Rutgers CAIT,” said UITP Secretary General Mohamed Mezghani. “This range of training has been developed to bring comprehensive topics and insights to a wide audience of professionals working in, or interested in, the public transit sector. All program information and registrations are easily accessible on the UITP website, with all courses open to participants across the globe.”
