ACES Members to Speak at APTA TRANSform Conference 2025

A strong ACES Mobility Coalition presence is heading to Boston, September 14–17, for the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) TRANSform Conference. This flagship transit event will bring together public transportation leaders from across the country — and many of our members will be front and center on panels, workshops, and committee sessions.

From workforce development and accessibility to next-generation mobility and special event planning, ACES members will highlight how shared autonomous mobility can advance public transit and strengthen communities. Their leadership not only reflects the expertise within our coalition but also demonstrates the growing influence of shared AV solutions in the national transportation conversation.

To help you follow along and support each other, we’ve put together a quick reference list of member-led sessions and events. Please share this with your teams and let us know if we’ve missed anyone so we can add them.

ACES member organizations speaking at TRANSform include:

Jacksonville Transportation Authority • RTC of Southern Nevada • Greensboro Transit Agency • International Association of Transportation Regulators (IATR) • Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART) • ACES Mobility Coalition
