A 16-member study team composed mainly of chief executive officers
and senior managers from MOBIS, the Netherlands public transit association headed by Andre
Testa, CEO of the Amsterdam Transit Authority, became the first overseas delegation to
visit APTA’s new headquarters in Washington. The Nov. 16 briefing by an APTA team
provided the visitors with an advocacy, marketing, and operations overview. Carolyn
Biggins of Ride On in Montgomery County, Md., and Mary Jane Dye of DASH in Alexandria,
Va., described their suburban systems’ community outreach programs. The Dutch
delegation, which represented some the country’s largest urban systems, was on a
week-long fact-finding mission visiting APTA member properties in Boston, New York, and
New Jersey, in addition to Washington.
