Professional Certification in the United States

In the United States, a professional transportation planner is certified in one of two ways: as a Certified Transportation Planner by the American Institute of Certified Planners, the professional institute of the American Planning Association, or as a Professional Transportation Planner by the Transportation Professional Certification Board, an autonomous body affiliated with the Institute of Transportation Engineers.

Only a small percentage of practicing transportation planners in the United States hold either the CTP or PTP credential. A select number of transportation planners choose to obtain both certifications.
