Last month, Glenn Barrington, operations manager at UMass Transit Services in Amherst, MA, received the American Public Transportation Foundation’s Frank Lichtanski Scholarship for 2011.

The scholarship—named in memory of the longtime head of Monterey-Salinas Transit in Monterey, CA—provides $2,500 in tuition support for an eligible candidate from a small or medium-sized transit agency to attend the Eno Center for Transportation Leadership’s Transit Executive Seminar.

Barrington began his career at UMass Transit Services as a bus driver. He worked as a contract manager for Ryder Student Transportation Services and has served as operations manager at the agency since 1992.

The Eno Center has designed the Transit Executive Seminar to meet the specific needs of senior-level leaders in transit agencies. The week-long course, being offered in April and July, will help participants strengthen their leadership capacity and broaden their industry perspective.

Applications for the course and the Frank Lichtanski Scholarship may be found online. Questions about the Eno Transit Executive Seminar may be addressed to Lindsey Robertson, director of meetings and programs.
