About Us

Who we are

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 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, transit industry product suppliers; 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 Administration (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 services in North Carolina.
