Full Membership is open to any organization who owns or operates a major regional system or who is an agency of the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). This type of membership entitles an organization to a seat on the Executive Board, along with representation on the Steering Committee, Program Track Committees, and/or any special task forces. Each full member is accorded one vote, when voting is required.

Associate Membership is open to any organization that owns or operates a local transportation system; is otherwise eligible to be a Full or Affiliate member but is outside the geographic boundary of the Coalition; or is a partner agency, such as State Police, other law enforcement organizations, and motor vehicle agencies. Partner agencies typically contribute to the content and implementation of the Coalition’s program, but are not part of a public transportation department or authority. This type of membership entitles the organization to representation on the Program Track Committees, and/or any special task forces.
