Transportation association seeking student proposals

The American Public Transportation Association’s (APTA) Bus and Paratransit Conference will be held in Charlotte in May.

In advance of the conference, the APTA is seeking transit-related ideas from students and professionals age 25 or younger for a “pitch session” on Wednesday, May 18. Ideas can involve technology, service delivery or any other area of transit, as long as it is innovative.

Individuals interested in submitting a concept for the pitch session should email a half-page write-up to Pamela White, Charlotte Area Transit Systems manager of service development, at pwhite@charlottenc.gov by Monday, Feb. 29.

Five presenters will be selected for this national pitch session.
