The Kansas Public
Transit Association was founded in 1981 by
individual persons and Kansas transit systems
who were interested in promoting public transportation
in Kansas.
In the years since its founding,
KPTA has grown from 10 original members in
1981 to over 150 today.
KPTA has taken a leading role
in working with state and federal government
for equity in regulation towards public transportation.
KPTA takes an active role
nationally and is a member of the American
Public Transit Association, the Community
Transportation Association of America, the
Southwest Transit Association, and Kansas
Economic Lifelines.
Among KPTA activities are:
educational/training forums, the annual association
meeting/expo, special membership bulletins,
six newsletters per year, a contacts notebook,
and membership services.
