Light Rail Technical Forum

Mission Statement

The Light Rail Technical Forum was organized to serve as a resource for agencies, manufacturers, vendors, consultants, and government interested in learning more about contemporary light rail systems, their application, design and operation. The Light Rail Technical Forum is an effective way to foster communication among light rail properties, provide a source of contacts (the contact compendium), promote the mode (APTA conference sessions), provide an APTA voice to International Union of Public Transport (UITP), Transportation Research Board (TRB), and the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (NCUTCD), and foster such groups as the Vehicle Maintenance User Group and development of appropriate APTA standards.
