Please join APTA on Tuesday, May 20, for an Advocacy Afternoon to advocate for full funding for public transit and passenger rail. Your voice is instrumental as Congress considers the FY 2026 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies (THUD) Appropriations bill, lays the groundwork for the next Surface Transportation Authorization, and debates other critical legislation.

While in Washington, DC, APTA strongly encourages members to participate in an APTA Advocacy Afternoon and meet with Members of Congress following the last session of the 2025 APTA Legislative Conference. APTA will coordinate in-person visits with your Members of Congress and their staff the afternoon of Tuesday, May 20, between 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. ET. Please be aware that meetings may take place any time during this window.

To match you with your Members of Congress, please email Jillian Kinder, Legislative Representative.
