Make Plans to Tell Your Story

APTA Chair M.P. Carter’s Telling Our Story initiative is in full swing, with events held across the country for District Days, Earth Day, Older Americans Outreach, and the 5th Annual National Dump the Pump Day. We heard from a lot of you—and we need to hear more!

That’s because APTA is gearing up for the culminating Telling Our Story event in Washington, DC, in September. We will deliver all our stories on the benefits of public transportation directly to Congressional leaders.

We need your testimonials (photo, video, or written), and we’ve created a web site that makes it easy for you to submit them. Simply go to the APTA web site and click on the “Telling Our Story” icon.

“Whether it is a testimonial from your riders, employees, board members, or business associates, public transit has a compelling story to share with our legislative leaders,” Carter said. “We need everyone to participate to help us make an impact in Washington this September. It is truly time for us to tell our story.”

 

As part of APTA’s Telling Our Story initiative, riders on Trinity Railway Express commuter rail recently were greeted by system leaders bearing cookies, prizes, and a chance to tell their stories. From left are Bill Velasco, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) board chairman; Dick Ruddell, president/executive director, Fort Worth Transportation Authority; and DART President/Executive Director Gary Thomas.
