At the 2026 SWTA + New Mexico Joint Annual Conference & EXPO presented by Model 1 Commercial Vehicles, the EXPO Hall stands at the center of the conference experience — bringing together the people, ideas, and solutions shaping the future of public transit.

Throughout the week, the EXPO serves as a dynamic gathering space where agencies, Tribal leaders, state partners, and industry providers come together with a shared purpose: to connect, collaborate, and move public transit forward. It’s where conversations begin, partnerships are formed, and real-world solutions take shape.

Attendees will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of innovations, from vehicles and emerging technologies to consulting services and operational tools designed to improve efficiency, safety, and service delivery. The EXPO offers a hands-on environment where participants can engage directly with providers, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the resources available to support their systems.

More than just a showcase, the EXPO is a place for meaningful engagement. It creates direct access to decision-makers and opens the door for conversations that lead to long-term collaboration and measurable impact. Whether attendees are seeking new technology, exploring funding solutions, or identifying strategic partners, the EXPO provides a valuable platform to discover what’s next in public transit.

As the conference unfolds in Albuquerque, the EXPO Hall will continue to serve as a central hub of energy and connection — reinforcing the role of partnership and innovation in advancing public transit across the SWTA region and beyond.
