Webinar Description

Wednesday, July 22 at 2:00 PM (ET) | 11:00 AM (PT)

When transportation leaders think about risk, they often focus on accidents, insurance claims, and regulatory compliance. However, many of the most significant threats to transportation operations stem from less visible operational risks that can disrupt service, impact safety, and challenge organizational stability.

From workforce shortages and outdated policies to technology failures, contract management, and asset reliability, transportation departments face a wide range of risks that require proactive planning and assessment. Building resilient operations starts with identifying these vulnerabilities and understanding their potential impact on daily service delivery.

In this session, transportation leaders will explore the principles of Operational Risk Management (ORM) and learn a practical framework for identifying, assessing, and mitigating operational risks. Attendees will gain strategies to strengthen organizational resilience, improve operational flexibility, and better prepare their teams to navigate changing circumstances.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the core principles of Operational Risk Management (ORM) and their application to school transportation operations.
  • Identify common operational risk areas and apply a risk assessment framework within their own transportation programs.
  • Explore strategies to mitigate operational risks and strengthen organizational resilience and flexibility.
