Bus Conference Blends Best Practices, Trends, Values
Approximately 1,460 industry professionals gathered at APTA’s annual Bus & Paratransit Conference and International Bus Roadeo, Charlotte, NC, May 13-18, to share best practices, network, see the latest products and services and gain insights on a wide range of topics and trends, from the core values of diversity and inclusion to BRT innovations, complete streets policies and ridership.
Despite some organizations’ inability to travel to Charlotte because of North Carolina’s controversial HB 2 law, the number of registrants, exhibitors and vehicles on display at this year’s conference exceeded last year’s event.
In addition to the competition and skills-based workshops featured during the Roadeo, the conference included dozens of concurrent sessions, special presentations and General Sessions.
Brief reports of these General Sessions and special programs follow in the "Coverage of the Bus & Paratransit Conference" section of this issue. Find videos of some sessions at the APTA website.
