Organizational Structure

The California Transit Association is a member-governed association.  The Association is directed by an elected 25-member Executive Committee comprised of public transit system members, transit industry supplier members, governing board members and one transit support group representative.  Executive Committee members are elected to serve a two-year term.  As guaranteed in the Association Bylaws, each transit system – regardless of its size – is provided one vote in electing the Executive Committee.

Members also have an opportunity to participate in the Association through internal Association policy committees, such as the Finance and Management Committee, or through member service provider committees, such as the Maintenance Committee.

The California Transit Association's internal policy-setting committees and external member service provider committees report their deliberations and recommendations to the Executive Committee.  The Executive Commitee is responsible for managing the affairs of the Association, setting policies, and overseeing and directing Association staff and contractors.
