About this conference
The New York Public Transit Association's Conference is the largest gathering of public transportation managers and professionals in New York State. Transit professionals from across the state come to the conference each year to learn and preview the latest innovative products and services. NYPTA's partnership with the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), the Rural Transportation Assistance Program (RTAP) and the Federal Transportation Administration (FTA) has resulted in increased attendance of large and small operators, transit professionals and decision-makers at all levels of these organizations. The conference theme is 'Opportunity in Motion: People, Purpose, Progress,' focusing on customer-centric service excellence, empowering transit workforce, safe, smart, and sustainable mobility, community engagement and partnerships, and empowering employee communications. It serves as a platform to exchange ideas, showcase best practices, and foster a shared commitment to making public transit a more people-focused service.
