Be An Advocate
Take Action
Public transportation is essential to the economic strength, environmental sustainability, and social well-being of communities across North America—and strong advocacy is critical to ensuring its continued success. The APTA Advocacy program empowers industry professionals, partners, and supporters to elevate the voice of public transportation at every level of government, shaping policies and funding decisions that improve mobility, create jobs, reduce emissions, and expand access to opportunity. By becoming an advocate, you help influence the future of transportation, strengthen the systems people rely on every day, and ensure that public transit remains a cornerstone of thriving, connected communities.
There are many ways you can take action as an advocate. You can stay informed on key policy issues, engage with elected officials, participate in legislative fly-ins and grassroots campaigns, share transit success stories within your community, and use APTA’s advocacy tools and resources to amplify your impact. Whether you are a transit professional, business partner, student, or supporter, your voice matters—and together, our collective efforts help secure a stronger future for public transportation.
