Dear SWTA Members,

As we begin our membership renewal cycle, I want to personally thank you for your continued support of the South West Transit Association.

Your membership means more than simply being part of an organization. It helps support advocacy, education, leadership development, professional connections, and industry initiatives that strengthen public transit throughout our region.

SWTA is strongest when our members are engaged, connected, and willing to share their experience and ideas with one another. The relationships built through this association create opportunities to learn, collaborate, solve problems, and strengthen the work being done across rural, urban, and Tribal transit systems.

As you renew your membership, I also encourage you to think about the people in your professional network who would benefit from being part of SWTA Nation. One of the strongest endorsements of SWTA comes from the people who already know the value of this association. If you know a colleague, business partner, agency, or industry professional who would benefit from SWTA membership, I hope you will encourage them to join us.

Every new connection strengthens our collective voice, expands opportunities for collaboration, and adds value to the network we have built together.

Together, we can continue to:

Strengthen advocacy for public transit

Expand professional development and leadership opportunities

Share knowledge and best practices

Build stronger industry partnerships

Support the professionals and communities we serve

Thank you for your continued commitment to SWTA. I am grateful to be working alongside such a dedicated group of public transit professionals and partners, and I look forward to what we will accomplish together in the year ahead.

Please renew your membership, stay engaged, and continue partnering with SWTA as we strengthen public transit across our region.

Best regards,

Heather Dalmolin

Executive Director

South West Transit Association
