Full 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 and to one vote on any matter that is subject to a vote by any of those units.  Full Membership could apply to any organization who owns or operates a major regional system within the Coalition's 16 states and satisfies the annual membership payment requirement as detailed in the Coalition's Procedural Guidelines. 

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.
