The GTA, with the assistance of host transit systems, features three major events throughout the year. Please visit each event's link for information about the upcoming or recently completed event. A brief description of each event follows.


In December GTA conducts its annual conference. Breakout sessions address current topics of interest to transit entities and related agencies. Vendor vehicle and table displays offer transit system staff an opportunity to stay abreast of current industry products. There is plenty of good food, and social opportunities including golf and tours to insure that the business of the event is tempered by social and networking opportunities.

“Bring a Bus to the Capitol”: After finalizing its Legislative Agenda the GTA travels to the Capitol to deliver its message to our state’s elected officials. The first day of the event involves a GTA Board meeting and reception. The next day starts with a breakfast at the Capitol, and then GTA members visit elected officials' offices to discuss our agenda items. This event is popular with transit system staff and board members, government associates and business affiliates. The Governor, the Speaker of the House, and transportation committee members have attended this event in the past.

The state roadeo is hosted each fall by a local transit system and includes a reception, with the awards ceremony on Sunday. This event is enjoyed and much anticipated by system staff, employees and family members, vendors and related agencies.
