Advocacy

KPTA is your voice in Kansas and Washington. KPTA represents its members' interests on all key state and federal transit-related issues. KPTA acts as your advocate on issues that matter most to you, such as transit funding, rulemaking, and state and federal transportation plans. KPTA's education and outreach efforts have played a vital role in advocating an increase in the number of state and federal dollars invested in the Kansas transit industry. Consider as an extension of your own staff. Our Legislative Updates and Washinton Alerts keep you up-to-date with all that is happening. 

Professional Development

KPA is dedicated to supporting you with opportunities for building knowledge and skills. Each year KPTA hosts an Annual Conference and provides information on numerous other workshops and webinars focusing on a wide range of public transportation topics. Aside from our top-notch educational program at the annual meeting, KPTA's meeting provides you the opportunity to network with industry professionals and exchange ideas and information.

Your Industry Information Resource

KPTA keeps you on top of the latest news and information through reports, KPTA's website and ongoing e-mail updates which keep you abreast of what is happening around the industry, at FTA, and at CTAA and APTA. KPTA is a member of both the Community Transportation Association of America and the American Public Transportation Association. KPTA is represented at these industry meetings, including the annual legislative conference in Washington, and we provide you timely reports on these activities.

Your support is critical! Public transporation provides Kansans thousands of rides each day for work, doctor's appointments, shopping, and many other reasons. For some, public transportation is their only lifeline to getting needed medical and financial services. Your support helps us give a voice to public transporation and those who depend on it.

If you have any questions, please call our offices at 785.235.8825
