Intensive Course in Transit Network Design Comes to Portland, October 30-31!

NOTE:  This post is locked to the top of the page.  New material appears beneath it.  

(Updated August 21 with new registration instructions.)

I’m happy to announce that we’ve scheduled the next session of my “inexcusably fun” two-day intensive course in transit network design.  It will be October 30-31, 2025 in Portland, right after the Mpact conference. Tuition is US$495.

This course isn’t just for transit planners. It’s for any professional whose work depends on great public transit: urban planners, developers, architects, local transportation officials. It’s also good for people in transit agencies who aren’t in planning but need to understand it better, especially leaders in operations, communications, and infrastructure. Advocates have learned a lot too! For more on the course, what you’ll learn, and how it works, see here: jarrettwalker.com/courses.

Registration is open now!  The limit is 36 and we will take registrations until it’s full.

To register and pay:

PayPal has been unreliable but at the moment it’s working again.  You can register and pay through PayPal here or use this QR code:

You can also emit a check for $495 times the number of students you’re registering, made out to “Jarrett Walker + Associates” and sent to

Network Design Course
Jarrett Walker + Associates
1021 SE Caruthers St
Portland, OR 97214

In this case, please ALSO make a copy of your check (or evidence of the electronic transaction) and email it to melissa at jarrettwalker dot com.  That will get you on the list ASAP to reserve your space.

In the email, please tell us:

  • Names and affiliations (employer etc) of students being registered.
  • Email for each student being registered.
  • How you heard about the course.

Finally, if you’d rather we send your employer an invoice, then we’ll need to add $100 to the price to cover our paperwork costs, so it’s $595 in that case.  (The additional fee covers any number of students on a single invoice.)  Just email melissa at jarrettwalker dot com if you’d like to do it that way.

Please share!

    Wish this had been posted before booking travel to Mpact in PDX the week prior, but hopefully, others can still coordinate their travel to make both.

    I really liked your X (Twitter) post about flagging / plateauing ridership and the potential new crises for transit agencies and public transit in general. Maybe a blog article?

      Will do. I often preview blog posts as social media threads.
