The 14th Annual Jim Ditch Golf Classic is back and scheduled for Tuesday, November 4, 2025. This year, we’re heading to Southern California and will be holding the tournament in Long Beach, California (exact location to be announced soon). To receive updates, sign up for the mailing list below.

Join your friends and colleagues for a great day of fun and golf as we remember and recognize Jim Ditch for his 35 years of service to the transit industry. Jim Ditch was a founding father of the California Transit Training Consortium (CTTC) and his passion for training and education was unprecedented.

The Jim Ditch Classic, now celebrating its 14th anniversary, brings together transit agency and industry professionals from all over Southern and Northern California for a day of fun and great golf. Over 120 golfers gather each year for a round of “best ball” style golf with lots of fun on the course, a great raffle, and everyone coming together for a great cause.

This popular golf tournament has raised over $283,000 toward the Jim Ditch Education Fund, and has provided 79 scholarships to students who wish to advance their careers in public transportation. Many scholarship recipients have gone on to fulfilling careers in transit, especially in maintenance and technical fields. There are many ways to contribute to this worthy cause during the tournament, including multiple sponsorships and joining us for a great day of golf.
