Happy New Year!! Cheers to safe travels, health, and happiness in 2023!

It was great to see many of you personally in 2022. Thanks to all of you who attend our NATP events.

2023 in a glance. A proclamation signing is in the works, Public Transit Week is April 9-15, National Rodeo is May 20-21, and the Training Expo is May 22-24 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Registration is now open. Please visit CTAA.org for details. We are still working on the manager workshop details. Then Midwest Transit Conference, September 6-8 in Kansas City, Missouri, and our NATP Roadeo, September 26-27 in Kearney.

Please remember to look at the Transit portal for this year's driver training sessions; new drivers need 16 hours in two core classes, and existing drivers need 4 hours of refreshers.

Looking forward to another great year!

Until Next Time!!
