ODOT Public Transportation Division - Required Provider Training

Due to an increase in transit provider compliance findings the Public Transportation Division (PTD) in conjunction with RLS and Associates will provide a series of required trainings for PTD’s subrecipient.  Each agency is required to send at least one person per agency for each of these trainings. Agencies are welcome to send more than one individual.  It is highly recommended that the individual(s) chosen are those that manage the program covered in each of the trainings.  All of these trainings will be offered in a virtual format.
