The Mid-South Transportation & Parking Association (MSTPA) and the Parking & Transportation Association of Georgia (PTAG) are proud to announce they have merged their associations of parking and transportation professionals. The two parties have agreed to maintain the Mid-South Transportation & Parking Association name and branding. 

Since 1999, MSTPA has a proven track record of hosting successful annual conferences that strike the appropriate balance between our membership and vendor community while providing our sponsors great value for their investment. With our growing membership and stability, MSTPA will continue to provide top tier training, interactive workshops, and resources to our membership. 

Likewise, PTAG has a strong history of more than 25 years of active membership made up of a network of committed professionals that foster mutual support for each other by sharing proven operational best practices across the Peach State. PTAG’s commitment to maintaining quality programming and services to their members led them to seek out the best partner for them in the region to further their mission. “We are excited to combine our assets and create a dynamic network that vendors and members alike will benefit from this larger scale approach in the region,” said Adele Clements, PTAG President. 

PTAG has been known for its focus on supporting parking professionals in the state of Georgia and providing resources and benefits to their membership. This goal aligns well with MSTPA’s goals to identify issues while evaluating solutions to improve our association’s municipal and university programs. In addition, with our combined resources, our objective is to stay updated on legislative changes that impact transportation and parking operations. “We couldn’t be more excited to welcome PTAG members to our family and begin sharing ideas and resources to better serve the parking and transportation industry in our region”, said Mike Tudor, MSTPA President.

This combined approach allows both associations to utilize the resources of a much larger platform to create dynamic, diversified conferences and training in the region. Together we will be able to attract members, speakers and vendors that will enhance the attendee experience provided to everyone.

To that end, MSTPA will be hosting its 2023 annual Conference & Tradeshow in the beautiful city of Savannah, Georgia during the week of April 18th–21st! As the oldest city in Georgia, Savannah is known for its beautiful coastal landscapes, its well-preserved architecture, and its rich, vibrant history. Did you know the top three fun facts about Savannah are:

  1. You can take your cocktails to go! (No wonder this is number 1)
  2. Savannah was a Christmas gift to President Lincoln in the Civil War.
  3. Savannah’s Spanish moss isn’t a moss at all (it’s actually a close cousin to the pineapple).

This will be an amazing event highlighting the accomplishments of PTAG over the past 25 years, celebrating a new future together, and joining parking and mobility professionals throughout our region for valuable education, networking, and professional development. We can’t wait for you to join us and celebrate all our accomplishments.

Michael W. Tudor, CAPP, is Executive Director of the Parking Authority of River City, Inc., and President of MSTPA.
