MEMBER SERVICES:WITH THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC WE WERE UNABLE TO HOST OUR ANNUAL EXPO MEETING THIS YEAR. WE WERE ABLE TO BOLSTER OUR TRAINING EFFORTS BY CONVERTING MOST OF OUR IN-PERSON SESSIONS TO A REMOTE OPTION. IN 2020 WE CERTIFIED OVER 6,000 PASS DRIVERS AND CERTIFIED OVER 7,000 TRANSIT PROFESSIONALS IN SEVEN CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS ALONG WITH OVER 500 TRANSIT PROFESSIONALS PARTICIPATING AND LEARNING IN CUSTOMIZED TRAINING CLASSES. TOTAL MEMBERSHIP AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR PRE COVID 19 WAS JUST OVER 1200 MEMBERS; WITH THE COVID FORCING MANY TRANSIT OPERATORS TO CURB OPERATIONS OUR MEMBERSHIP FELL TO UNDER 1,000 AT YEAR END. TO KEEP MEMBERS CURRENT WITH THE CHANGING FEDERAL AND TRANSIT LANDSCAPE WE HOSTED 3 VIRTUAL EVENTS; 6 WEBINARS; WROTE 22 BLOGS AND SENT NEWSLETTERS TO MEMBERS WITH INFORMATION INCLUDING FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES. AS WE WORK THROUGH COVID WE ARE SUPPORTING POTENTIAL AND CURRENT MEMBERS THROUGH LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND PROVIDING RESOURCES AT ALL LEVELS.
