APTA Releases New Site Visit Resource for Members

Congress will be making critical decisions on the future of public transportation investment in the upcoming months. APTA has created a new resource for its members, APTA Guidance for Planning Site Visits with Your Members of Congress, to help them engage with their Senators and Representatives.

The guidance is designed to assist APTA members in effectively planning, organizing, and executing an event with their elected officials, along with providing sample social media posts for maximum impact. Members of Congress will be able to see firsthand the impact of public transportation in communities across the nation.

Whether it is showcasing the manufacturing jobs generated from a rail facility, highlighting the essential role of a bus system in facilitating daily commutes, or organizing a site visit or event with Members of Congress, this guide serves as a crucial way to illustrate the significance of public transportation funding to the well-being of communities and local economies across the U.S.
