1APTA / 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

DEAR MEMBERS,

It has been an honor to serve as APTA Chair during such an important year for our industry and association. During my tenure, I’ve sought to increase APTA’s value to members and our influence among decision-makers by

emphasizing the importance of collaboration. The achievements summarized in this annual report are proof of what can be accomplished when we work together.

In the public arena, we rallied around shared goals to help pass important legislation, including a multi-year funding bill. Working with the U.S. Conference of Mayors, National League of Cities, National Association of Regional Councils and National Association of Counties, APTA strengthened partnerships that elevated our importance among local, state and national leaders.

The Task Force on Member Collaboration enhanced member service, strengthened governance and improved communications among APTA’s board, members and staff, as well as with our transit board and business members. I’m gratified to know that these efforts will continue with the recently created task forces on Revenue, Member Consensus, Governance / Bylaws and the CEO Search.

I would like to thank every one of our members for your leadership, collaboration and support of APTA during the last year. I look forward to supporting incoming Chair Doran Barnes and to celebrating the next chapter of APTA achievements.

Best wishes,

Valarie J. McCallAPTA ChairBoard Member, Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority

DEAR MEMBERS,

APTA’s 2016 fiscal year was one of achievement, change and preparation for the future. From passage of major legislation to reassertion of our priorities, our members and staff delivered measurable results.

During the past several months, I’ve had the privilege of learning from our diverse members, understanding their needs and working to make our association a more valuable resource to all. Thanks to the passion and insight of our more than 1,500 members, we are better prepared for the opportunities ahead than at any time in our 134-year history.

The changes before us will reshape the way we think about mobility. They promise more freedom and independence for millions of people, new technologies

for riders’ evolving preferences, and a stronger, unified industry. By leading on these issues and addressing new safety, security and asset management/state of good repair challenges, APTA is helping our members achieve greater success.

I’m grateful to our members, volunteer leaders, staff and partners for their support and guidance during this year of transition. You’ve all helped make APTA a better association. We have more work to do, but I feel confident that our great association is moving in the right direction.

Sincerely,

Richard A. WhiteAPTA Acting President & CEO

In Fiscal Year 2016, we strengthened our association and increased our value to APTA members through the following activities.

TASK FORCE ON MEMBER COLLABORATION

A major initiative of APTA Chair Valarie J. McCall, the Task Force on Member Collaboration spent 10 months assessing how the association could improve communication, coordination and partnerships, both internally and externally.

The principal goal was to improve alignment and coordination among APTA’s key constituent member groups (transit CEOs, transit board members and business members) and to strengthen cooperation with key external partners representing local government.

Ann August, member of the Bus and Paratransit CEOs and Mid-Size Operations committees;

Patrick Scully, chair of the Business Member Board of Governors; and David Stackrow, chair of the Transit Board Members Committee, served as co-chairs of the task force.

Among the many results were:

> Enhanced communication and collaboration among APTA committees.

> Aligned APTA committees’ activities with the association’s strategic goals.

> Expanded collaboration among small and mid-size operations and large legacy agencies, commuter rail, rail and bus CEOs, business members and transit board members.

> Established clear APTA sponsorship and meeting participation guidelines.

> Created training and mentoring opportunities for new board members.

APTA represents a diverse group of members who speak with a single voice. Consensus, collaboration and unity are the principles that guide our work.



> Fostered close working relationships with the U.S. Conference of Mayors, National League of Cities, National Association of Regional Councils and National Association of Counties.

> Hosted widely attended receptions to promote public transportation at both the Republican and Democratic National Conventions.

> Established continuous improvement initiatives in customer service for all APTA staff.

> Planned study and trade mission to Cuba.

PARTNERSHIPS AT HOME AND ABROAD

APTA reinforced its partnerships with key organizations to advance our members’ interests. We participated in major events, programs and presentations with the Eno Center for Transportation, Conference of Minority Transportation Officials (COMTO), Transportation Research Board (TRB), Women’s Transportation Seminar (WTS), as well as American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), Association of American Railroads (AAR), Community Transportation Association of America (CTAA), Mineta Transportation Institute and Rail-Volution.

Other noteworthy partnership activities included:

> UITP, the International Association of Public Transport, and APTA entered into a new pact that commits both organizations to support, promote and participate in UITP’s Global Public Transport Summit in Montreal in May of 2017 and APTA’s

International EXPO and Annual Meeting in Atlanta in October 2017.

> Partnership agreements were signed with Union des Transports Publics et ferroviaires (UTP), the French Public Transport Operators Association and GIE Objectif Transports Publics, which organizes the European Mobility Exhibition every two years.

> APTA Chair Valarie J. McCall participated in the CUTA (Canadian Urban Transit Association) Fall Conference in November 2015 in Montreal, QC, advancing the longstanding APTA-CUTA partnership.

> APTA Vice Chair Doran Barnes made a presentation at the European Mobility Exhibition in Paris titled “Developing a New Mobility System: Challenges & Opportunities for Public Transit in the U.S.”

> APTA members and staff participated in the U.S. Department of Transportation-led US-China Transport Forum held in Los Angeles, CA.

Among the many results of the task force was enhanced communication and collaboration among APTA committees that further aligned their activities to the association’s strategic goals.


J. Barry Barker, chair of the Legislative

Committee, displays APTA’s guide to the

FAST Act.

ADVOCACY…

…is an essential activity for any public service industry that relies on federal funding and oversight. Securing government support for more resources, sensible policies and effective regulations is APTA’s top priority.

Achievements included:

> Enactment of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act or FAST Act, a five-year law that provides $61 billion for public transit — an 18 percent increase;

> A new competitive grant program for bus and bus facilities;

> Three-year extension and resources to install Positive Train Control (PTC) safety systems;

> Secure and stable funding for the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP), National Transit Institute, human resources, training, R&D and advanced technologies;

> Permanent parity and higher limits for the public transit commuter tax benefit; and

> Two-year extension of the alternative fuels tax credit.

On the regulatory front, we provided detailed recommendations to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA).

We advocated vigorously on behalf of our members to influence Safety, State of Good Repair, and Transit Asset Management (TAM) rules. On the last issue, APTA successfully argued for a $50,000 floor value of reportable assets in the final rule.

SAFETY & SECURITY…

…were issues that shaped much of APTA’s work this past year. From helping FTA craft procedures for its new safety oversight role to hosting a Security & Emergency Management Roundtable at the 2016 Rail Conference to recognizing “the best of the best” public transit systems’ safety and security programs, APTA put into action our top strategic goal: “safety & security first”—creating the groundwork for expanded efforts in the year ahead.


> Completion of 13 peer reviews and 21 safety reviews, including multiple audits for bus, commuter rail and rail systems.

> The cybersecurity program expanded its information sharing efforts and continued to educate CEOs and executive leadership on the importance of cybersecurity programs & employee education.

Emphasizing what’s most important to our members. That’s what guided much of APTA’s work last year — in advocacy, safety and security, and state of good repair.

Focusing on Fundamentals


> APTA and Valley Metro in Phoenix, AZ hosted a highly successful Transit Security & Emergency Management Roundtable, in coordination with TSA, at the Rail Conference.

> The Safety Audit Program was updated and revised to align with new safety management regulations from FTA and FRA.

> APTA’s PT-ISAC provided daily intelligence reports to transit police, security and emergency managers to help keep public transportation systems and their riders safe.

STANDARDS …

…was the focus of renewed attention this year. APTA’s Standards Development Program is the most comprehensive source for best practices in North America, covering such issues as security, procure-ment, sustainability and technical requirements for bus and rail. During Fiscal Year 2016, the program:

> Published 12 new or updated standards.

> Improved the ease of use of its published document library on APTA’s website as well as access to ongoing evaluations, revisions and published existing standards.

> Expanded its outreach through ongoing relationships, partnerships and collaboration with allied organizations, federal agencies and public transit and business members.

> Used its quarterly newsletter, monthly reports and other communications tools to ensure an open and equitable consensus-building process among stakeholders.

STATE OF GOOD REPAIR…

…continued to be a priority for public transit agencies across the nation. Media attention highlighted the urgent needs of aging systems from Boston to San Francisco, but public transit agencies of all sizes and modes have struggled with the gap between investment requirements and available funding. APTA has placed increasing emphasis on the importance of state of good repair by delivering educational sessions on this topic at major conferences.

Activities included:

> We continued to advocate for federal and other investments needed to rehabilitate and maintain America’s public transit systems and to ensure they are reliable, efficient, safe and secure.

> APTA, its Transit Performance Management Subcommittee of the Policy and Planning Committee and FTA collaborated on a series of peer exchange roundtables and presentations on:

– best practices in developing transit asset management plans that help set targets for achieving state of good repair goals for regional multimodal transportation plans;

– integrating transit asset management and state of good repair into the metropolitan planning and programming process; and

– the importance of reinvesting in systems to advance state of good repair for improved performance.

MEMBER OUTREACH…

…was a major focus for Acting President & CEO Richard White and APTA Chair Valarie J. McCall. After soliciting views from APTA members of different modes, sizes and geographical areas, they developed key ideas that included a “back to basics” approach in setting industry standards, increasing technical assistance to transit systems and assessing APTA’s governance and member services.

As a result, APTA put resources where our members said they were most needed.

APTA Acting President & CEO Richard White addresses members.


The “Where Public Transportation Goes, Community Grows” campaign was a theme at every major APTA conference last year, driving more industry and public interest in our website and outreach efforts.


> More than 200,500 Voices for Public Transit were recruited and mobilized to advocate for the FAST Act and increased investment in public transportation, generating thousands of personal letters and phone calls to members of Congress.

> Nearly 246,000 people follow APTA on Facebook and more than 17,000 follow us on Twitter.

> During National Infrastructure Week, CEOs representing small, medium and large public transit systems described our industry’s $86 billion state of good repair backlog during a national conference call with 25 journalists.

> Passenger Transport and Passenger Transport Express kept the public transportation community informed each week about industry news and APTA members’ initiatives.

> APTA’s Industry Footprint, the first interactive advocacy and outreach tool to provide a visual depiction of the public transportation sector, was developed to show public transit services and businesses by region, state and community.

> APTA activities generated more than 7,000 media stories resulting in more than 11 billion

impressions — the number of times we were seen by the public last fiscal year.

> The 11th annual Dump the Pump Day, our national pro-transit rally, was one of the most successful, with participation from more than 140 public transit systems, organizations and businesses.

APTA remained the pre-eminent voice of an evolving public transportation industry. Impactful messaging, social and traditional media, and targeted advertising helped generate broad support for passage of the FAST Act.

RESEARCH STUDIES

APTA produced a number of original reports and studies, including the 2015 Fact Book on Public Transportation.

Other original research and policy initiatives included:

> Public Transit’s Role in the Knowledge Economy examined our industry’s role in attracting high-skilled workers and building three emerging high-tech “innovation districts” (Silicon Beach, CA; Austin, TX; and Research Triangle, NC) comprised of business incubators, startups, academic and research facilities.

> Shared Mobility and the Transformation of Public Transit, a first-of-its-kind study, surveyed “ride-sourcing” consumers in seven U.S. cities and found that the more frequently people use shared services such as Lyft and Uber, the more likely they will be to use public transit.

> Open for Business: The Business Case for Investing in Public Transportation described new market trends and the strong connection between transit

and “smart cities,” sponsored by the APTA Business Members Activity Fund.

> The first Policy Forum on High-Speed and Intercity Passenger Rail was sponsored by APTA to highlight research, new developments and future plans.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

> National Transit 101 Curricula, developed by a national team of industry leaders, was launched and promoted on APTA’s website.

> New partnerships with the National Science Foundation Research Traineeship, National Network for the Transportation Workforce and National Network of Business and Industry Associations were established, providing new programs and resources to advance the workforce development agenda.

> The Inaugural pREES Summit was sponsored by APTA’s business members, in conjunction with the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA), to support engineering faculty and industry leaders.

APTA continued to be an influential thought leader both within our industry and among other sectors. We invested in new research, workforce development and career education at all levels.

TASK FORCES ON GOVERNANCE / BYLAWS REVIEW, REVENUE AND MEMBER CONSENSUSAPTA Chair Valarie J. McCall launched three new initiatives designed to move APTA from good to great. While this work began in 2016, these groups will carry forward through the end of the year and into 2017.

> Governance / Bylaws Review Task Force, led by chair Nuria Fernandez and her co-chairs David Stackrow and Charles Wochele, is assessing APTA’s governance structure. Among the issues being examined are the roles, responsibilities, function and size of the Executive Committee and Board of Directors, their engagement with APTA’s extensive volunteer committee structure and the roles of various constituent groups.

> Revenue Task Force, chaired by APTA Secretary- Treasurer Kim Green, has been identifying ways for APTA to “optimize, maximize and enhance revenue generation” from a range of sources including membership dues, meetings and sponsorships, and advertising. The objective is to develop recommendations aimed at increasing revenue and membership.

> Member Consensus Task Force, chaired by J. Barry Barker, chair of APTA’s Legislative Committee, has focused on how the association’s legislative policies and advocacy can best reflect industry consensus. The objective is to develop positions that adjust as circumstances change and allow for opposing views.

ASSOCIATION DEVELOPMENTFiscal Year 2016 was the first year APTA’s business plan was guided by the new five-year Strategic Plan. One of the plan’s goals, Association Development, focused on the following achievements:

> The Employee Performance Management System was updated and streamlined, with significant investment in member service training for all employees.

> New processes were put in place to align APTA’s budget with the Strategic Plan’s business planning activities.

> A move to newly designed, environmentally friendly office space was achieved without disruption to member support, and a collaboration and feedback program was established to further enhance the APTA work environment.

> A weekly Executive Update letter was initiated to improve communications between APTA and its board of directors.

> A quarterly Executive Update for all APTA members was initiated.

> Through agreements with U.S. DOT’s National Center for Mobility Management and Build America Transportation Investment Center (BATIC) Institute, APTA received new resources to help public transit agencies pursue innovative financing ideas.
