Missouri Public Transit Association (MPTA) was established
in 1980 as a Missouri non-profit corporation. It was
formed to provide a unified voice for public and specialized
transportation providers in Missouri and to work toward
elevating the status of public transit as a national
priority.
In 1983, MPTA established an office in Kansas City.
Today, the association is managed by a full time Executive
Director and professional support staff. MPTA's staff
provides legislative liaison and its office serves as
a central clearinghouse for member information and requests
for assistance. The association has developed a variety
of programs to facilitate education and networking among
transit professionals in Missouri.
Membership in MPTA is open to anyone who has an interest
in the future of public transit in Missouri. Transit
system members range from large urban systems to single
vehicle agencies in the most rural counties of the state.
Affiliate members include representatives of sheltered
workshops, community organizations, citizen advocacy
groups, government and quasi-government agencies and
industry suppliers.
