North America

UITP has a history of working closely with the two principal public transport associations in North America, the American Public Transport Association (APTA) and the Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA).

Cooperation agreements have allowed for a greater exchange of services between these associations and UITP in complimentary spheres of activity.

A substantial result has been more access to international best practices and information by North American public transport actors, and an increased knowledge and input on North American good practices at UITP.
