As one of the most influential state associations in the nation, the California Transit Association is dedicated to shaping California's critical investment in the future of transportation.

Comprised of nearly 190 member organizations, the Association attracts and retains all of California's largest urban transit operators, as well as dozens of agencies in suburban and rural areas. Also included are commuter rail agencies, transit support groups, national and international transit suppliers, and government agencies.

Founded in 1965, the Association is a non-profit statewide organization. We are member-governed and directed by an elected Executive Committee supported by policy and member service committees and Association staff.

The California Transit Association is committed to a collaborative approach to advocating for improved transit operations throughout California. We work with local, state and federal legislators, and are the primary advocate for transit in the state.

With support and active engagement from member organizations, the California Transit Association is focused on implementing transit-friendly policy, a balanced transportation system, and increased transit funding.
