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.
International Business Programs
APTA and the FTA are working together on a series of trade missions and other international activities that highlight US transportation products and services in the international market place. APTA business members are invited and encouraged to participate in these programs.
