Transportation planning program in Colorado

So i've been lurking around the forum for a couple months now, reading what everyone has been posting. Keeping to myself. I'm in a place right now where I'm trying to figure out my next move, which is obtaining a Master's Degree.

I am going to move out to Colorado, and at this point it's looking like the Denver area. I know DU has an Intermodal Transport Institute, but this is about all I have found in regards to Trans. Planing and Master's. Plus, unfortunately, I don't have any mid- to upper- management experience, much less 5 years.

So, does anyone on this forum know of any directions I can look at in regards to Trans. Planning Master's programs in the Colorado area? Are there other programs of study that will work well with pursuing a career in the transportation sector?

My eventual goal is to be involved in the National high speed rail network that will be "finished" sometime in the 2030's. Any leads, advice, or information would would be much appreciated by this internet poster. I look forward to discussion on the subject matter.

There isn't really a transportation specific graduate program. CU Denver has a MURP with transportation as a specialization within a concentration.

Oh Yeah.....

It looks like they only have Tran. Planning I and II.

This could be a great option, if you took advantage of DU and chose a couple of classes there to transfer over into the MURP program. You should call:

Don't tell him I sent you....I don't think he liked me:

and if you want classes with one of the top people in transportation:
