NFTA's Jeff Amplement, Brian Maunz, Ethan Harris, and Sharith Myree are participants in the 2024 New York Public Transit Association's Public Transit Leader Institute (PTLI) Program. Earlier this month, the Central NY Regional Transit System (Centro) hosted the fifth class in the program. The team has now visited all of the upstate agencies and the MTA.    

PTLI is a year-long professional development program that provides an opportunity for future transit leaders to further develop their skills under the instruction and mentoring of experienced transit industry executives and leaders through NYS.  

Graduates will be recognized during the 2025 NYPTA Annual Conference for their completion of PTLI. They will be presented a plaque noting their commitment to the transit industry and their professional development. All graduates will be listed on the New York Public Transit Association website.
