Invitation
to Chicago
Please join us in Chicago for APTA’s 4th annual Sustainability and Public Transportation Workshop. The transportation sector contributes over 30 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Public transit and transit supportive land use is becoming increasingly important as federal, state and local governments develop and implement energy and climate change initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The workshop is the premier event on best practices in sustainable public transportation. On the agenda are cutting-edge speakers and presenters with real world experience. You will learn how transit systems can save money and improve efficiency, lessen environmental impacts and promote land use strategies that encourage public transit use.
