is this such a college degree in the subject of transportation policy? If so, where can I achieve one?

Question

I would like to explore career options in mass transit

Answer 1

One of the better programs:

Institute of Transportation Studies
University of California, Los Angeles
3250 Public Policy Building
Los Angeles, CA 90095-1656
tel: [phone]
fax: [phone]

You should also look into studying civil engineering or urban planning. Both would be potential routes into mass transit planning. The links below outline the jobs descriptions of both.
