What is the Transit Technology Operations Governance course about?

You're responsible for systems that keep transit moving, fare collection, real-time tracking, fleet telematics. One misstep in governance can trigger audit findings, service outages, or cybersecurity exposure. Yet policies are scattered, vendor contracts lack oversight, and change control is reactive. You need a structured way to embed compliance into daily operations without slowing innovation.
