The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) serves as an advocate for the advancement of public transportation programs and initiatives in the United States since the organization's founding in 1882. It educates the public about the benefits of public transportation through organized bus, light rail, rapid transit and other programs. It lobbies Congress and local government bodies in favor of public transportation improvements and new developments.

In 2008-May, APTA held its annual convention in San Francisco.
