| APTA’s Legislative Conference to Offer “Capitol Hill Summit” |
The changed landscape of the 112th Congress means that it’s more important than ever for APTA members to highlight the importance of federal investment in public transportation to their elected officials. To that end, APTA will hold its first “Capitol Hill Summit” during the conference, which will focus on emphasizing lobbying and outreach objectives.
 A kickoff event will be held Monday, March 14 at the JW Marriott to rally APTA members for their meetings with their representatives. Following the Tuesday, March 15 breakfast, APTA members will effectively bring public transportation to Capitol Hill. A showcase will be held in the Foyer of the Rayburn House Office Building that features exciting displays and also provides conference participants with a place to gather between appointments—and share information. That evening, APTA and the Amalgamated Transit Union will co-host a joint reception to close the conference.
As in past years, the conference will feature numerous exciting speakers. Political pundit Charlie Cook will offer his insights about the new Congress on Sunday night; DOT Secretary Ray LaHood will be the featured speaker at Monday’s opening general session; and Administrators Peter M. Rogoff of the Federal Transit Administration and Joseph Szabo of the Federal Railroad Administration will speak during the afternoon general session.
All APTA members coming to the conference should start making appointments with their Members of Congress now!
