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.”
