JOIN COMTO

WHY COMTO?

The transportation industry is the most vital federal agency in the country and will always need contractors from all areas to maintain our country’s infrastructure; it will never be outsourced.

We are the voice of small business to local agencies, state and federal government politicians.

COMTO has 40 chapters throughout the United States. Members include individual, transportation agencies, academic institutions, industry non-profits and Small and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises. From highways and roads to mass transit systems; from subways to rail systems; and from port authorities to airports, COMTO members represent every facet of the transportation industry. Our members are the presidents and chief executive officers who determine the direction of major transportation systems and the mechanics and operators who ensure the safe passage of millions of transportation riders everyday.

COMTO’s Mission is to ensure a level playing field and maximum participation in the transportation industry for minority individuals, businesses and communities of color through advocacy, information sharing, and training, education and professional development. At present, COMTO is the only organization that works to support minority contractor businesses within the administrations of the Department of Transportation, in an effort to level the playing field. To do this we must engage all transportation agencies under the OST (FWHA, FAA, FTA and FRA) as partners to achieve this mission.
