By participating in this program you will help your organization; decrease your workers’ time away from work, reduce additional hiring or training cost, and reduce costs associated with claims.

Member Advocacy

AMTA positions are developed in response to the problems, challenges and opportunities that are impacting our members. Policies are developed by our member-led committee comprised of Compliance and Regulatory Affairs (CRA) members in conjunction with AMTA staff. Through participation on committees, responding to members surveys, or just by contacting us, members play a vital role in strengthening AMTA’s voice.

Industry members are the key motivation to AMTA ‘s Industry Advancement team. We desire to accelerate technologies that enhance safety, extend operational efficiencies or support environmental stewardship for the commercial transportation industry.
