The transit industry converged in Orlando, Fla., this past November for the American Public Transportation Association's (APTA) 2021 TRANSform Conference & EXPO that had attendees reflecting and celebrating transit agencies' efforts throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as drumming up excitement for the years ahead The event, like many other in-person meetings, was delayed more than a year and underwent a location change due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these initial hurdles, an estimated 10,000 professionals were in attendance, with this being the return to in-person events for many. "We were confident about bringing transformational change to public transportation. Never did we imagine that transformational change would be thrust upon us by a global pandemic," APTA President and CEO Paul Skoutelas told attendees during the conference's opening session. |
