Please join us in Seattle this July for APTA’s 3rd annual Sustainability and Public Transportation Workshop. The transportation sector contributes over 30 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Public transit and transit supportive land use is becoming increasingly important as federal, state and local governments develop and implement energy and climate change initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The workshop is the premier event on best practices in sustainable public transportation. On the agenda are cutting-edge speakers and presenters with real world experience. You will learn how transit systems can save money and improve efficiency, lessen environmental impacts and promote land use strategies that encourage public transit use.

Join your fellow public transportation professionals on hands-on technical tours, highlighting King County’s LEED-rated transit facilities, transit-oriented development projects, innovative low-impact stormwater infrastructure in neighborhoods, and Sound Transit’s new light rail project. You will also have the opportunity to ride a Washington State ferry to Bainbridge Island or a Sound Transit commuter rail train along the shores of Puget Sound at sunset.
