THANK YOU FOR JOINING US!
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, September 15, 16, 17, 2021
John S. Knight Center, Akron, Ohio
On behalf of the Ohio Public Transit Association, we thank you for joining us for the Ohio Needs Transit Conference & OPTA EXPO 2021 hosted in Akron.
We hope that you found the event to be informative and worthwhile.
Planning for OPTA’s next conference and expo will begin soon. Visit ohioneedstransit.org for updates and information in the coming weeks and months.
We look forward to seeing you in 2022!
The past year has provided unprecedented challenges to all who work within public transit as well as those stakeholders that support the industry and the riders whose lives depend on reliable transportation services.
We have been tested in ways that were never envisioned and challenged to be innovative and reactive to continue providing essential services to the thousands that count on us.
As transit operators at every level, we learned so much about our industry, our strengths and ourselves.
It is time to take what we learned and move to the future!
