NPTC Honors 78 Certified Transportation Professionals® (CTP)

The graduates were honored during a ceremony at the Annual Education Management Conference and Exhibition held April 30-May 2, 2017 in Cincinnati.
Since the CTP designation was first introduced in 1993, more than 1,600 fleet and transportation professionals have earned the right to add CTP after their name. CTPs are raising industry standards, and in turn, increasing the respect and prestige of the fleet and transportation profession.
“These new Certified Transportation Professionals, have demonstrated the knowledge and ability to understand complex operational and regulatory issues, identify and evaluate potential costs and savings, and develop systems and practices that best meet their company’s transportation needs and objectives,” said Mari Roberts, CTP, Chair of the NPTC Institute Board of Governors that oversees the program and Director, LD&T Dallas Metroplex, Frito-Lay, Inc.
“The CTP designation is a benchmark of excellence earned by a special few, but available to any fleet or transportation specialist will to make the necessary commitment of dedicated effort.”
