OUR
HISTORY
.

NEPTA has served the passenger transportation community in New England and the northeastern states since 1900.

 

As transportation modes expanded in the early 1900s and people began to travel, the need for communication increased. On July 18, 1900, an informal transit association,The New England Transit Club, was founded by a trio of transit managers who envisioned an organization that would focus on public transit issues in addition to networking opportunities and social gatherings.

We are introducing new sponsorship opportunities to organizations wishing to promote products and services to our community, including new online opportunities.
