SUN 2026: Monterey, California

August 4-6, 2026

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. Past SUN Conferences were hosted in Athens, Missoula, Manchester, Gulfport, Alexandria, and most recently St Cloud, Minnesota. Hosting in Monterey, California in 2026 continues our trend of bringing this event to small cities, where attendees can experience the examples and ideas of their peers in action.

Registration coming soon. Agenda features a tour at Monterey-Salinas Transit, sessions and panels featuring innovations for small city transit agencies, a beach bonfire networking event, and more.
