The California Transit Training Consortium (CTTC) has announced key leadership appointments and an expanded workforce development strategy to strengthen academic partnerships and broaden technical training for California’s public transit industry. Serving 42 transit agencies, CTTC is moving beyond its focus on zero-emission technologies to offer a comprehensive portfolio including high-voltage systems, multiplexing systems, low-voltage electrical diagnostics, vehicle communications networks, advanced bus systems, and emerging technologies. New registration for high-voltage training classes is now open through its member learning portal. Norman Tuitavuki, CTTC Board Chairperson, emphasized that the future of public transportation depends on workforce strength, and the new leadership will expand the vision through stronger academic partnerships and member engagement.

The new appointments include Jannet Malig as President, who brings over 20 years of experience in workforce development and clean energy initiatives within California’s community college system. She will lead efforts to expand academic partnerships and develop curricula aligned with workforce demands. Rolando Cruz returns as CFO, bringing three decades of transportation leadership from roles at the City of Culver City, Santa Monica’s Big Blue Bus, and Long Beach Transit. Nicole Sherman joins as Training Coordinator, with over 20 years in workforce development across K-12, community colleges, and public fleet organizations. Mark Hollenbeck was appointed Membership and Marketing Committee Chair, focusing on growth and engagement. These appointments reflect CTTC’s commitment to building a workforce development ecosystem connecting public transit, higher education, and private industry.

CTTC’s expanded training strategy includes specialized learning pathways in high-voltage systems, multiplexing systems, low-voltage electrical diagnostics, vehicle communications networks, advanced bus systems, and emerging transportation technologies. By strengthening partnerships with colleges, universities, transit agencies, and industry leaders, CTTC aims to create the nation’s most comprehensive transit learning network. The new leadership team will guide the organization as it expands technical learning pathways and develops innovative training opportunities to support California’s evolving transportation workforce.
