Transit Tech Series: Mapping Data Flows Within Small Transit Agencies

Speaker: Lauren Ellis, Jordan Howard, and Andrew Carpenter
Room: 204
Do you know how data flows around your agency? All of a small transit system's processes from fares to scheduling rides are made up of several steps that involve different software systems. Information flows through those software systems either in a streamlined automatic process or through manual data input. N-CATT designed a tool to help transit systems map out how information flows from one system to another and enables agencies in providing a complete trip. Come learn about this tool and work with CTAA's tech staff to map out your own flows and learn about the pain points you can tackle. Bring your laptop and be ready to try it yourself!

Refreshing Your Transit Asset Management Plan

Speaker: John Giorgis
Room: 213
FTA's Transit Asset Management Rule required State DOTs and urbanized area transit agencies to establish transit asset management (TAM) plans by 2018, and to update them every four years thereafter. The deadline for the second quadrennial update is October 1, 2026. What have we learned from the first eight years of TAM Plans? What should you be looking at in your TAM Plans as you prepare for this cycle's refresh? Is everything in your TAM Plan where it aught to be? Whether you are already working on your updated TAM Plan or whether you haven't thought about your TAM Plan since 2022, this workshop will get you ready to be compliant with the 2026 deadline and to get the most out of your TAM Plan refresh.

RAPIDO: A Rapid-Response Framework for Crisis Management and Decision-Making in Transit

Speaker: Christina Villarreal
Room: 214
RAPIDO: A Rapid-Response Framework for Crisis Management and Decision-Making in Transit is an interactive, scenario-based workshop designed specifically for transit professionals operating in high-pressure environments. The workshop introduces a practical decision-making framework-Receive, Accept, Pause, Investigate, Decide, Own-that helps leaders and frontline teams reduce emotional reactivity, align with SOPs, and make clear, consistent decisions during disruptions and emergencies. Participants are guided through real-world transit scenarios, including a facilitated crisis simulation involving service breakdowns, ADA considerations, weather impacts, limited resources, and public communication timelines.

11:30 a.m.—12:15 p.m. (45 minutes)

CCAM TAC Series: Community Action Partnership Transit Models Panel

Speaker: Marybeth Schneber-Rhemrev
Room: 203

Transit Tech Series: Using Mobility-On-Demand to Fill the Last Mile

Speaker: Alvaro Villagram and Abby Mader
Room: 204
Many transit systems in smaller communities face a geometry problem: the low density of their communities mean that potential passengers are usually far from fixed routes. For those agencies that want to make it easier to reach these routes, microtransit services could fill those gaps. Now that the technology behind the service model has evolved, there are many options to choose from, and agencies need to plan out how to most effectively deploy a microtransit model. This workshop will help you start the planning steps to get this work started.

Using Precise Language to Boost Support & Funding

Speaker: Steve Yaffe
Room: 205
This will be an interactive participatory workshop focused on using precise language for the uninitiated while avoiding flash-words that upset some without conveying the intent. We will highlight several flash-words which convey different ideas to different audiences and offer precise language to fully describe the intent. For example, we should not assume people understand that "Diversity" in the planning, engagement, and decision-making processes entails learning who uses a service, who likely would be users, and their needs/expectations. We don't know what we don't know unless we include people who likely would know.

The Resilient Operator: Trauma-Informed Strategies for the Modern Transit Workforce

Speaker: Helen Wallace
Room: 213
Transit workers are the unsung first responders of our cities, often witnessing or experiencing traumatic events—from medical emergencies on board to verbal and physical aggression. Without the proper tools to process these high-stress interactions, the results are predictable: burnout, absenteeism, and high turnover. This workshop provides a foundational "Mental Health First Aid" kit specifically for the transit environment. We will explore the Basics of Trauma (how the brain responds to threats), the physiological signs of chronic stress, and immediate "de-escalation for the self" techniques. Attendees will learn how to build a culture of resiliency that protects the psychological safety of employees while maintaining operational excellence.

Mentoring and Coaching: Lessons Learned from a Lifetime in Transit

Speakers: Leslie Rogers, Mike Scanlon, Milo Victoria
Room: 214
Between the "Great Resignation" and the "Bathtub Effect" (high levels of entry level and near retirement staff with a dearth of mid-level talent) currently facing the transit sector, it has never been more important to both engage and train tomorrow's leaders. This workshop examines real world success and failures in mentoring and coaching within the transit industry.

Getting the most out of your CTAA Membership

Speaker: Loreal Lance, Meredith Bay-Tyack
Room: 215

Transit Tech Series: Determining Your Technology Resilience and Planning to Improve It

Speaker: Kevin Chambers
Room: 204
So much effort goes into getting a new technology system installed and running that we don’t want to think about losing that system down the road. It is important to plan ahead and understand how you will adapt to technology failures and to understand the type of technology that makes sense for your agency. In this workshop, Kevin Chambers of Full Path Technology will use one of CTAA Transit Tech tools to help agencies evaluate their technology readiness and resilience to make sure they can handle whatever curve balls their tech has to throw at them.

Ensuring Fairness and Compliance: How to Make Quality Post-Accident Testing Decisions

Speaker: Russ Parrish
Room: 205

Engaging with Empathy: Building (and sometimes, Re-building) Bridges with your Community

Speaker: Jaime McKay and Roman Steichen
Room: 213
Every agency has a challenging operating environment, and some are made more challenging by the community, organizations, and perceptions that surround them. Learn from an agency that instituted a successful program with almost no up-front cost on best practices and strategies to generate stakeholder buy-in, more effectively engage with difficult constituencies, and build relationships between internal and external parties. There will be an interactive component as well as a short presentation.

NEMT for Sole Source Providers

Speaker: Shannon McCoy
Room: 214
Cottonwood, Inc. in Lawrence, Kan., is a social service agency that provides services with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Because of the specialized nature of the individuals that we serve, we provide NEMT Transportation to only those individuals in our service program to medical related appointments utilizing our agency staff and vehicles. We stay with our individuals and relay information back and forth between that individual's support team in our agency and their medical care team in all the different specialties that may be involved. We are a bit more specialized in the type of NEMT Transportation services we and many other agencies like us provide to our individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities. We provide more than just the basics of NEMT like other public transportation providers. It would be good to offer some specialized speakers on that area. I think CTAA and NEMT would benefit from seeing what many of us "specialized" sole source providers as it pertains to NEMT.

3:30 p.m. — 4:45 p.m. (75 minutes)

State Association Executive Director Meeting

Speaker: Loreal Lance and Scott Bogren
Room: 202

From Partnership to Impact: Building Community-Centered Transit Outreach Through Nonprofit-City Collaboration

Speaker: Sara Sisco
Room: 213
Hopelink Mobility Management, the designated mobility management agency for King County, Wash., partners with community organizations and local governments to help residents view transportation as a resource-not a barrier-to full community participation. These partnerships expand program reach, leverage local expertise, and improve access for communities that face barriers to using traditional transit services.

Co-Designing Micro-Transit for Accessibility: A Toolbox to Help Build a Community Driven Mobility Program

Speaker: Trisha Peterson, Community Catalyst The PLUM Catalyst, Community Coordinator goMARTI
Room: 214
As new mobility technologies improve and deploy, it's important to empower communities to lead planning and decision-making for the new technology deployments in their communities. This requires moving beyond traditional public input to genuine shared leadership where community champions and advisory groups own the problem definition and solution prioritization. The output of the initial planning must be their plan, not an imposed solution. It also requires we promote engagement by involving diverse stakeholders, including involving community members with disabilities. This means actively eliminating barriers to participation. The solutions must leverage the unique strengths of each community. Success should be measured by developing viable plans that tackle local transportation challenges, align with goals, and catalyze economic development, even if the final recommendation is very different from the initial thoughts.

Tuesday, May 12

Intercity Bus Workshop: State Investment

Speaker: Don Chartok
Room: 215
The intercity bus industry plays a critical role in providing long-distance transportation across North America. With limited subsidy through the FTA 5311(f) program and increasing operating costs the private intercity bus industry continues to struggle, and the role of the state is expanding. To best address the gaps and needs across the private network and ensure the goal of expanded rural access is achieved, states are growing their programs, investing in planning, increasing their coordination efforts with providers, reaching across state lines, and more.

Operator Recruitment, Training, and Retention: Overcoming Barriers to CDL Licensing

Speaker: Sandy Brennan
Room: 213

From Planning Study to Practice: The South County Connector as a Community - Based Model for Rural Microtransit

Speaker: Tate Coleman
Room: 214
The South County Connector, operated by the Town of Great Barrington, Mass., began as a concept, a planning study recommendation, and launched in 2023 as a three-town microtransit pilot. Since then, it has evolved into a successful on-demand and deviated fixed-route municipal transit system serving residents of all ages across seven southern Berkshire County communities, operating 6 a.m. - 9 p.m. daily.

1:45 - 2:30 p.m.

CCAM TAC Series: Strollers, Snacks, and Seamless Transfers: Designing Mobility Hubs for Young Families

Speaker: Alvaro Villagran and Abby Mader
Room: 203
Traditional transit planning often prioritizes the "9-to-5" commuter, but for young families, travel is rarely linear. It’s a complex web of "trip-chaining"—dropping off a toddler, grabbing milk, and heading to a doctor’s appointment—all while navigating heavy strollers and unpredictable schedules. If a mobility hub doesn't work for a parent with a double stroller and a diaper bag, it isn't truly accessible. This interactive workshop re-centers the mobility hub around the caregiver’s journey. We will move beyond basic bike racks and benches to explore the "sticky" infrastructure that makes public transit a viable primary choice for families.

Transit Tech Series: Tech Trends and Technical Assistance

Speaker: Andrew, Lauren, Jordan
Room: 204
CTAA’s Tech Team keeps their finger on the pulse of emerging transit technologies to help you figure out which tools can help your organizations.

Streamlining Operator Hiring Practices

Speaker: Shayna Gleason
Room: 205
In this workshop, the Transit Workforce Center will share insights collected through a national-level research project on streamlining the bus operator hiring process. Current hiring processes are often lengthy, causing candidates to abandon the process in favor of other jobs and exacerbating operator shortages. Using real-world examples from transit agencies of all sizes, this presentation will share best practices for designing a shorter, but nonetheless effective, screening and hiring process. Presenters will also explore with workshop participants their challenges and experiences and will introduce attendees to new tools they can use to evaluate their own hiring processes.

Wednesday, May 13

10:15 - 11:30 a.m.

CCAM TAC Series: Moving Families Forward - Transportation Solutions for Caregivers

Speaker: Jane Mahoney and Maureen Murphy (Lifespan of Greater Rochester)
Room: 203
Family caregivers - relatives, friends, and neighbors who support a loved one’s daily needs - now number more than 63 million across the U.S. They provide an estimated 80 percent of the transportation their loved ones rely on, yet only 25 percent have ever used a community transportation program. This workshop explores why caregivers remain an overlooked rider base and offers practical strategies small‑community transit providers can use to better engage, support, and serve them.

Small Urban Systems Best Practices and Lessons Learned

Speaker: Jordan Howard
Room: 204
Small urban transit agencies (agencies serving populations between 50,000 and 200,000 residents) carry nearly 1/3 of daily U.S. transit trips, yet these systems are often overlooked. This workshop explores what drives ridership and success in these communities using a mix of quantitative and qualitative analysis. A particular focus is the typology of what makes these areas successful as well as what other similarly sized agencies can do to potentially improve their own services.

Bridging the Capacity Gap: Resilient Technical Assistance for Rural and Tribal Nations

Speaker: Kelly Shawn, Jordan Howard, Chris Zeilinger
Room: 213

NTD, Census, and Your Federal Funding

Speaker: John Giorgis
Room: 214
Why is reporting to the NTD important? How does NTD data impact the Formula Funding for Tribal, Rural, and Small Urban transit operators? And where does the decennial Census fit in all this? This workshop will give attendees an understanding of how the FTA Formula allocations are made, and identify opportunities to potentially increase formula allocations through better NTD reporting.

From Engagement to Advocacy: Building Community Support for Complex Transportation Projects

Speaker: Elizabeth Elliott and Erika Hill
Room: 215

The Microtransit Math: Building Financially Sustainable On-Demand Systems

Speaker: Derek Sherman
Room: 214
Designing an On-Demand (Microtransit) service is often the easy part; making the unit economics work long-term is the real challenge. Many agencies launch pilots that become victims of their own success, with costs-per-trip that far exceed traditional fixed-route budgets. This workshop is designed to move beyond the "hype" of on-demand tech and focus on the fiscal architecture required to keep these services running.

3:00 - 3:45 p.m.

The Mirror Effect: Mastering Self-Awareness as a Leadership Multiplier

Speaker: Dan Mulraney
Room: 205
Frontline staff need to understand self-awareness to provide excellent customer service by understanding how their words and actions affect our customers. They also can use self-awareness to be excellent teammates. Supervisors need to understand self-awareness to lead teams and organizations. Every word, memo, decision, email, etc. impacts those that receive it. Understanding your impact on others is paramount.This workshop explores self-awareness not as a static personality trait, but as a dynamic, developable skill. We will move beyond simple introspection to look at the two distinct lenses of awareness: Internal (clearly seeing our own values and reactions) and External (understanding how others truly perceive us). Attendees will leave with a toolkit for identifying their professional "blind spots" and a strategy for using radical self-honesty to drive team results.
