APTA Participates in Democratic and Republican Conventions
For the first time ever, APTA and public transportation were a focus of activities surrounding the Democratic and Republican conventions. In Denver, APTA joined with the Colorado Association of Transit Agencies (CASTA), the Community Transportation Association of America (CTAA) and the American Bus Association (ABA) to host a reception at the Democratic National Convention. In Minneapolis, at the Republican National Convention, APTA, CTAA, and the ABA co-hosted. “As first efforts”, said Millar, “these were successful events that should be repeated. Getting public transportation’s message before the wide range of federal, state, and local officials and leaders from across the country makes the conventions appealing sites.” In the next issue of Passenger Transport we will highlight how the respective transit systems played an integral role in transporting thousand of delegates, and others, to the convention events.
