501 - Overseeing a Fleet Maintenance Program
A four-hour workshop covering the fundamentals of fleet maintenance, designed for those interested in or with a responsibility for shop operations. This workshop is designed for all managers, not just those already familiar with fleet maintenance.

801 - Special Needs Student Transportation Orientation
This course uses the most recent edition of the NAPT Manual for Transporting Students with Special Needs, written by Dr. Linda Bluth, to explore the legal basis for special needs transportation. It highlights the differences between laws and policies, particularly as they affect operations and includes definitions of transportation and related special education terms, transportation requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA); Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act; the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments; and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. There is a specific focus on the characteristics of children with disabilities and the relationship of the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process to the provision of the related service transportation. Scenarios are used to discuss multiple hot topics including discipline, climate controlled school buses, door-to-door transportation, medication and oxygen transport.
