The NAPT Professional Development Series was developed as an education-based program that prepares pupil transportation professionals for daily tasks and professional advancement via classroom type training. Courses that enhance transportation skills were developed in each of the following areas: Orientation, Communications, Financial Management, Human Resources Management, Physical Resource Management, Operations/Systems Management, Leadership, and Special Education.
