APTA Welcomes 2026–2028 TCRP Ambassador Cohort 

The Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) is pleased to welcome its incoming 2026–2028 Ambassador cohort, a group of public transit professionals who will help bring valuable industry research closer to the people and organizations who can put it into practice. 

Sponsored by FTA, TCRP serves as a means for the public transportation industry to develop innovative near-term solutions to a multitude of demands. TCRP reports and other tools help public transportation practitioners solve problems and inform decision-makers. APTA is a TCRP partner. 

The TCRP Ambassador Program plays an important role in advancing TCRP’s mission by connecting research findings with real-world transit challenges. Through industry engagement, peer-to-peer conversations, and outreach at professional conferences and events, ambassadors help increase awareness of TCRP research and encourage its use across the public transportation industry. 

As representatives of the program, ambassadors serve as a bridge between research and practice, sharing relevant findings, highlighting practical applications, and helping industry professionals discover resources that can inform decision-making and improve transit operations.
