As an APTA Board Member, Li will work to strengthen and improve public transportation through advocacy, innovation and information sharing.

“The importance of the work that we do for the transit industry, its employees, communities and the people we serve is a high priority for me,” said Henry Li, SacRT General Manager/CEO. “My goal as an APTA Board Member is to help advance the public transit industry to strengthen key economic policy areas; identify opportunities for advancing innovative transportation technology, such as on-demand service,
autonomous and electric vehicles, and mobile apps to attract more businesses and a quali?ed workforce to the Sacramento region.”
