CTAA’s annual Small Urban Network (SUN) Conference allows chief executives and leaders at small-urban transit agencies a chance to gather with their peers to network, share ideas and solutions and shape CTAA policy strategy impacting small urban systems in a collegial, retreat-like setting. Past SUN Conference attendees have noted they enjoy this event in particular due to its focused agenda and because nearly all its participants are their fellow transit managers and executives. After our past SUN Conferences in Denver, Asheville, Flagstaff, Athens, Missoula, Manchester, Gulfport and now Alexandria continues our trend of bringing this event to small cities, where attendees can experience the examples and ideas of their peers in action.Â
Check out all of the planned workshops here!Â
Registration is now full and therefore closed. We hope you got your spot, otherwise we would love to see you in 2025! If you registered and have any questions, please refer to your registration email. For urgent needs, reach out to lance@ctaa.org.
