Members of the Class of 2010 and committee members tour TransLink rail maintenance facility, Vancouver, British Columbia. During the program, participants have the opportunity to visit various transit agencies across the country.
Leadership APTA participants are sponsored by the public transportation system or organization where they are employed. An organization’s sponsoring a candidate, providing the monetary resources, and allowing the time necessary for candidates to participate in the related events and activities are critical to the success of Leadership APTA.
