The Business Member Board of Governors is responsible for
directing and establishing activities for APTA's Business Members and developing
policy recommendations to APTA's Executive Committee and Board of Directors
which represent the interests of all Business Members. Their objectives include
encouragement of greater Business Member participation in APTA; development
of better communication between governmental bodies and APTA Business Members;
and providing APTA with continuing support in its efforts to represent the
public transit industry. Board members are elected and represent a cross section
of the Business Membership. Board meetings are open and attendance by interested
Business Members is encouraged.
BMBG Meetings
BMBG meetings are open to all APTA business members and their attendance and participation is welcome and appreciated. The agenda for the meetings varies but is generally focused on issues about doing business in the transit industry and APTA programs that support private sector involvement in the industry. One important component of the BMBG program is support for APTA’s transit advocacy efforts. Through the business member activity fund, business members have provided the industry with a number of important publications that highlight the important benefits of investments in public transportation.
