OPTA is the primary advocate for public transportation in Ohio.  The Association provides leadership, resources, training, support, technical assistance, media outreach, public engagement, and governmental relations services to transit agencies and businesses across the state.

As the powerful and unified voice of our members, the 60,000 men and women they employ and the millions of people, including seniors, veterans, students, people with disabilities, and commuters  who use transit every year, OPTA strives to increase funding opportunities and improve Ohio’s quality of life.
