NCPTA NEWS


"Everyone needs an advocate and NCPTA is ours. Sometimes a rural transit system has trouble getting their point across. When important decisions are being made by people who have never operated a transit system then NCPTA is there to give advice or project our point of view."
- Charles Patton, Transportation Director
Columbus County Transportation
THE NCPTA STORY
The North Carolina Public Transportation Association, Inc. (NCPTA), is a private, non-profit organization, incorporated on January 18, 1983, that promotes public transportation throughout the state.

NCPTA's 200 members represent a diverse group, all working toward one goal: increased mobility options for North Carolinians. NCPTA members range from large urban systems to the smallest of rural systems; bus and van manufacturers; educational entities; private companies; local and state elected officials; and individuals interested in public transportation.

NCPTA works with the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), the Federal Transit Authority (FTA), state and national public transit associations, human services agencies, civic and community groups, businesses, and universities to promote public transit services and create an integrated, multimodal transportation system in the state. Together, we aim to enhance public transportation programs in North Carolina.
