NYPTA 2025 ANNUAL CONFERENCE & EXPO

The New York Public Transit Association’s Conference is the largest gathering of public transportation managers and professionals in New York State. Transit professionals from across the state come to the conference each year to learn and preview the latest innovative products and services.

 

Thank You for a Standout 2025 NYPTA Annual Conference!

What a week! On behalf of the New York Public Transit Association, thank you to every attendee, speaker, exhibitor, moderator, volunteer, and partner who made last week’s Annual Conference a success. Your energy, ideas, and commitment to public transportation in New York State were on full display—from the opening session through the final conversations in the hallways.

Program Highlights

  • Transit 101 sold out and gave new professionals a strong foundation in operations, safety, funding, and customer experience—setting the stage for long-term workforce strength across our agencies.

  • Concurrent sessions covered the topics you asked for most this year: zero-emission implementation, funding and procurement, safety culture, workforce pipelines, data-driven decision-making, and customer-focused service design.

  • PTLI Capstones: Our Public Transit Leadership Institute graduates presented thoughtful projects with real-world impact—congratulations to the newest class of leaders shaping what’s next.

  • Corporate Engagement: Vendors and agency leaders connected in sessions and on the exhibit floor, with fresh solutions showcased for fleet electrification, facilities, fare systems, and maintenance.

Community & Celebration

  • From impromptu meetups to our evening events (yes, Casino Night was a hit!), the networking was robust and productive. Thank you to our sponsors and exhibitors for elevating the experience and for your continued partnership with NYPTA.

Gratitude

A special thank-you to our moderators who kept sessions running smoothly, to our panelists and speakers for sharing expertise so generously, and to our planning committee and volunteers for their tireless behind-the-scenes work.
