APTA Committees

APTA committees are structured to provide interaction among members in a wide range of transit disciplines. The committee members deal with the issues and challenges affecting their area of expertise within the industry, and devise strategies, plans, and programs aimed at upgrading the state-of-the-art generally and information exchange specifically.

Each committee reports to APTA's Board of Directors through its elected vice chair. In addition, special task forces are formed on an as-needed basis.

APTA committee membership is open to the transit board members and management personnel of all APTA members, both operating and business. Committee membership is available in the following areas:

APTA committees are active in all areas of concern to the industry, and are grouped under the following categories defined by the responsible APTA vice chairs, and first vice chair. Except for those committees listed as "by appointment only," you may join an APTA committee by contacting the committee's staff advisor, who is listed under the committee's link.

Note: the APTA Member Discount Lodging Service is available to committee members traveling to APTA Committee meetings in certain cities.
