The Leadership APTA Class of 2024 capstone projects are now available on APTAU! Over the course of the class program, participants identified and addressed six key areas of concern for the public transportation industry and met with and interviewed dozens of industry CEOs, senior leaders, and national experts. In addition, they conducted related surveys and research to produce an array of outstanding presentations and reports.
