The Council provides expertise and leadership from a state perspective for advancing public transportation as a part of an intermodal transportation system. It develops legislative, policy, and program recommendations related to all forms of passenger public transportation services including rural, urban, regional and intercity bus, travel demand management and commuter rail.

The Council and AASHTO Transit Management are jointly sponsoring this annual meeting to bring together state departments of transportation, Federal Transit Administration officials, and industry partners for a series of panel sessions and open discussions on state public transit programs and national transit policy developments.

The Council said this year’s gathering will feature speakers from the Utah Department of Transportation – the host state for the 2024 Annual Meeting – as well as from the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) and the Federal Transit Administration’s Region 8 Office. As part of this year’s meeting, the UTA will offer a technical tour of Salt Lake City’s transit system.

This will also be the second year in a row that the Council’s Annual Meeting will feature a National Transit Institute-sponsored technical workshop for state DOTs. For 2024, this technical workshop is on State Management Reviews, with a special focus on Disadvantaged Business Enterprise reporting.
