CLGT
in partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation's Transit
Planning Division, provides educational programs, software development,
and technical assistance for Oklahoma's rural public transit systems.
The program serves the Project Directors and their staffs at 22 rural
public transit systems throughout Oklahoma.
CLGT
has developed computer programs to facilitate record keeping and data
reporting, and continually works to update these programs to meet changing
reporting requirements and computer hardware/software capabilities.
On-site training is also offered to help personnel keep pace with hardware
and software changes, computerization of new transit projects and other
technical advancements.
The
Transit Advisory Board, which consists of transit professionals, guides
the Rural Public Transit Program work plan each year. This board identifies
critical training and educational needs. CLGT then works with the board
to develop and provide training on topics such as labor laws, personnel
management, and operations and maintenance.
Each year the Oklahoma Transit Association holds a Bus Operator's Rodeo
where drivers' skills are tested in various games and exercises. CLGT
provides support and technical assistance at the rodeo and the association's
two annual meetings. Because of it's commitment to training and technical
assistance, Oklahoma is considered a leader in transit education. CLGT
helped the Oklahoma Transit Association launch a state-wide certification
program for transit professionals. Oklahoma is the first state in the
nation to introduce such a program.
Pilot
Escort Program
The Commission for Public Safety established rules for the certification
of operators of escort vehicles in response to Title 47-120.1, Escort
Vehicle Operator Certification. CLGT, in partnership with the pilot
escort driver industry, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, and
the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety, develops and delivers specialized
training for pilot escort driver certification. This
is a fee-based program with the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety.
