Human Transit and Trains, Buses, People (written by a professor of transportation at Rice University) are excellent introductions to transportation. Jarret Walker, author of Human transit, also has a blog he updates quite frequently. Strong Towns has a biking and parking section of their blog and an editorial called Ask R. Moses that has questions answered by civil engineers, typically professionals that run transportation. NACTO also has an excellent guide in urban bike transportation for something specific that we're using for a bike-ped class this semester.
As you explore these topics you'll start to find organizations like NACTO and people like Jarret Walker you'll be able to find webinars and youtube videos as well as additional reading material to fill in those gaps.
If you want something truly academic, I have a pdf of a textbook I used in my transportation fundamentals class last semester I'm happy to email you if you'll DM me.
I've read this book - it's really fascinating and I'd highly recommend it.
Similarly, if you are interested in the public transport side of this I'd recommend reading "Human Transit" by Jarrett Walker which touches on how design and attitude influences efficiency in a transit system.
