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.
