This committee is comprised of the attorneys who provide legal advice to APTA
members and representation in the courts before administrative agencies and
elsewhere. The committee meets regularly to discuss litigation, regulatory,
and other legal issues affecting transit. This committee also deals with all
aspects of the labor protective requirements of 49 USC Sec. 5333 (Section
13(c) of the Federal Transit Act). These include negotiation of Section 13(c)
arrangements, administrative matters, and litigation. On an annual basis,
the committee holds a two-day meeting (the Legal
Affairs Seminar) where the latest developments affecting transit are reviewed.
