Membership with MTSA

Your Information Resource

The MTSA staff is only a phone call away when you have industry-related questions and need answers fast. From safety regulations to maintenance requirements to employment issues, if we don’t already know the answer we’ll find it for you.

Your monthly copy of the MTSA Newsletter gives you all the latest regulatory and legislative information both on a state and national level. The Newsletter also keeps you up-to-date on various transportation and business issues, the latest news among the members, and what upcoming events the Association has scheduled. The Newsletter provides an Associate Member Listing so that all our members know which venders support MTSA.

When it comes to those issues that are really critical – things that you need to know about right away – you can count on us sending a special mailing or fax to get the word out fast.

Your Legislative & Regulatory Agency

MTSA is your link to our legislative and regulatory leaders and works hard to maintain a positive and productive relationship with them. Association staff is constantly watching for any issues, state or federal, which could have a negative impact on our members.

You can have a voice in forming the legislative goals for the Association through your active participation in the MTSA Legislative Policy Committee. The group meets during the legislative session and is open to all MTSA members wishing to get involved.

Your Source for Educational Programs

MTSA offers a wide variety of educational programs for our members and their employees – from safety and maintenance issues to employment and tax issues. We’re open to morning, afternoon or evening sessions in an effort to accommodate all schedules, and we always welcome format or topic suggestions – chances are if you need it, another company does too.

You can also become part of the MTSA Education Committee. The group meets twice yearly to discuss current topics of interest, new speaker potential and formulate a seminar schedule.

The people within your company responsible for the safety and maintenance areas can become active participants in the MTSA Safety and Maintenance Committee meetings. Each meeting features a current topic with a knowledgeable speaker.

Your Networking Opportunities

MTSA gives you a variety of opportunities to get together with others in the transportation industry to discuss business and industry problems, share information and ideas, etc.

MTSA Annual Meeting and Convention – whether your interests lie in the areas of education, new product or service information, or just discussing business in an informal setting we try to set an agenda to meet all our members’ needs. The Annual Meeting gives all MTSA members the opportunity to reaffirm their common goals for the Association and the transportation industry.

MTSA Golf Outings – take the time to get together with old industry friends and meet some new ones. You’ll be amazed at how much you can accomplish taking care of business in a relaxed, fun atmosphere – good golf, good food and good friends.

Our educational seminars and committee meetings are also good networking opportunities – another place to share problems and solutions.
