Letter from the President
W elcome to the Fall RTAP newsletter. I hope everyone was able to attend our 2022 annual TAM Conference at the beautiful Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. It was a terrific event that brought record attendance and offered many training and informational sessions. Our volunteer Board of Directors went above and beyond to help make this event a success. A special thanks to all of our vendors and sponsors that make all this possible, especially our major sponsors: American Bus, Coach Bus Sales, Coach USA, KFH Group, RideCo, Ecolane, AJ Stationers, Seifert Graphics, Vector Media, and Mead & Hunt. An extra thank you to MDOT MTA Office of Local Transit Support for their generous contribution allowing two attendees from all our member organizations to register at no charge! At the conference it was also our pleasure to announce and present the TAM 2022 Awards for excellence in public transit. Those were MDOT MTA Office of Local Transit Support for Friend of Transit, Harford Transit LINK for Outstanding Marketing Program, Roman Steichen of TransIT Services of Frederick County for Outstanding Leadership, Jodi Glock of Harford Transit LINK for the Unsung Transit Hero, The Harford Center for Outstanding Non-Profit Agency, Prince George’s
