Council of Representatives

The Council of Representatives provides the essential link that unites local and national efforts into effective advocacy for passenger trains and transit. The Council consists of 112 State Representatives and up to 10 'At-Large' Representatives. The Council represents local needs, issues and activities at the national level; helps formulate national policies through participation in the Association's committees; and implements these policies by working at the grass roots level. Representatives play a key role in helping the Association accomplish its mission. You may review the Council of Representatives Handbook for more information.

If you have been a member in good standing for at least one year and are a registered voter in a state with a current vacancy, please see here for information on how to apply to fill a vacant seat.
