Lively Paratransit Instructional Program (LPIP) Training Website.

Overview

LPIP is the Lively Paratransit Instructional Program. Lively Technical College runs it with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). It trains the technicians who keep Florida's paratransit vans and buses running. Craxinno designed and built the program's paratransit training website, livelypip.com.

The site is now the single home for the program. Technicians use it to check if they qualify, find a course and apply online.

The challenge

• One home for a statewide program. Technicians from transit agencies all over Florida needed one trusted place to find the program.
• Clear eligibility rules. Only Florida transit agency staff and their maintenance contractors can attend. They need agency approval. Travel and lodging are paid back at state rates.
• Lots of courses. There are 12 core courses at three skill levels, plus short certification sessions. The schedule changes often.
• A document library. Technicians use inspection forms, maintenance templates and manuals every day.
• Easy updates. Program staff, not developers, update the newsletter, course dates and documents.

Who the site serves

The site has three main groups of users. Each one comes for a different reason.

• Technicians. They want to know what to learn next. They look up course dates, read about each level and download the forms they use at work.
• Transit agency managers. They need to approve staff for training. They check who can attend, what it costs and how travel is paid back.
• Maintenance contractors. Many Florida agencies hire outside shops for upkeep. These teams can join the same training when the agency signs off.

We kept each path short. A visitor can go from the home page to an open course or the apply form in two clicks.

What we built

Our web development team built the paratransit training website on WordPress and Elementor Pro. It has six main pages.

• Home: a clear hero with an Apply Today button, the college and FDOT story, eligibility rules, travel benefits, a newsletter archive by year and a photo gallery.
• Program Info: about LPIP, the team and the full course catalog.
• Courses: a live training calendar built on The Events Calendar. More than 50 sessions are published.
• Resources & Links: 32 files to download, such as inspection forms, tracking sheets, lift checklists and manuals. It also links to 15 partner groups.
• Apply and Contact: online forms built with Typeform, so there is no paperwork.

Design approach

Our UI/UX design team designed every page in Figma first. The look is clean and official, and easy to read.

A strong blue (#2869A5) builds trust. A bright red (#ED1C23) marks every call to action. A soft green (#9AB35D) supports both. Darker Grotesque and Poppins keep headings bold and text easy to scan.

Courses sit in tabs and accordions. Documents sit in clear download cards. Every page works well on phones, so technicians can use it from the shop floor.

The result

• One central hub for a statewide, FDOT-backed training program.
• More than 50 training sessions managed through a self-service calendar.
• Online applications that cut paperwork.
• A library of 30+ technical documents and a 53+ issue newsletter archive.
• Staff publish news, courses and documents on their own, with no developer.
• Clear eligibility and travel details, so fewer repeat questions.
