APTA EXPO is the premier event focused on advancing the public transportation industry and providing a platform for the exchange of ideas and information. To reach this goal, we continuously seek out new ways to add more value to the attendee experience through unique and engaging experiences, forward-thinking education, fruitful networking events, and more.

Education 

In addition to the annual TRANSform Conference, APTA EXPO offers an abundance of FREE education sessions within the Learning Zones on the Show Floor. These interactive sessions cover the latest critical topics impacting the public transportation industry now and in the future. 

Networking

Year after year, attendees tell us that the networking and relationship-building they get from APTA EXPO is unsurpassed and is one of the biggest reasons they keep coming back. Whether you‘re meeting a new client, supplier, investor, or peer in the industry, you won't find a better network of global transit professionals anywhere else in the world. And of course, EXPO is a great opportunity to reconnect with old friends and colleagues and have a little fun!
