Welcome to the Texas Transit Association!
The Texas Transit Association (TTA) was organized in 1986. Our members are Texas metropolitan, small urban, and rural transit agencies, as well as private and public entities from across the United States.
TTA would like to thank all of the the sponsors, exhibitors, and attendees for making this year’s conference one of the most successful events to date. We also appreciate the strong support of our host agency VIA Metropolitan Transit Authority and TxDOT!
WARNING: *IGNORE FRAUDULENT ATTENDEE LIST PROVIDERS*
It has come to our attention that companies have been contacting TTA attendees and exhibitors and identifying themselves as having access to TTA’s attendee lists. TTA DOES NOT SELL its attendee lists to any vendors or other third parties. Anyone attempting to sell you this information should be considered fraudulent. TTA strongly recommends that all conference registrants disregard such emails. Please contact info@TxTransit.org for additional information.
Please take a couple of minutes to complete our brief survey so we can make any improvements needed for our 2025 TTA Conference in McAllen. We value your feedback. Again, we hope you enjoyed your time in San Antonio, and we look forward to seeing you in McAllen. If you have any comments or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. Thank you again for your continued support.
