Leadership APTA is specifically designed for APTA members working for public transportation systems, private corporations, businesses, and organizations related to the industry. Only employees of organizations that are APTA members are eligible to apply.

The Leadership APTA program is looking for the next generation of leaders progressing in their careers in the public transportation industry. Candidates can be assistant general managers working for public transit services providers, middle management personnel aspiring to executive leadership positions, and other individuals with strong leadership potential working for public transportation systems, private sector businesses supplying goods or services to the public transit industry, or other organizations related to the industry.

The Leadership APTA Committee strongly recommends that individual organizations submit only one candidate as their applicant for the Leadership APTA Class of 2013.

Leadership APTA’s agenda includes attendance at customized workshops and some APTA conferences; leadership projects, teleconference and online meetings; use of online tools and collaboration sites; and participation in web-based events.
