The increased knowledge on myriad issues, especially the insights into federal changes, made this the best ROI during my tenure." Wow! This was sent to us by a 2025 SUN conference attendee.

Next week, we are excited to welcome 175 CTAA members from 39 states to Washington, DC, for our annual Legislative Fly-in! This event is crucial for bringing the unique stories of rural, small city, tribal, and specialized transit directly to Congressional offices, making a significant impact on funding, regulations, and appropriations.

A highlight of the week will be the members of the 2026 CTAA Leadership Academy (Cohort 8) culminating their week-long learning by attending congressional meetings on Capitol Hill alongside transit leaders from their states.

Additionally, this year introduces a new, exciting event: The Summit. This one-day retreat is exclusively for top leadership, with CEOs, GMs, and Executive Directors from 51 transit agencies set to attend. Attendees can look forward to high-level keynote speakers, panel discussions, and sessions designed to provide actionable insights and inspiration.
