Originally formed in 1991, the Campus Parking and Transportation Association (formerly the Midwest Campus Parking Association) is committed to enhancing the professional image of parking and serves as a unifying force in promoting state and local legislation through fostering partnerships with individuals. With a mission to promote and represent the parking industry on the campuses of colleges and universities, CPTA includes members from around the world.

CPTA hosts an annual conference at a partnering college or university each fall, where more than 130 parking professionals and vendors gather from across the country for a multi-day experience. Attendees engage in roundtable discussions and presentations on sustainable transportation, parking finances, campus master planning, and more. The next CPTA conference will be held in October 2023 at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. If you are interested in attending this rewarding event, visit cptaonline.org for additional registration details and updates.

In addition to CPTA’s annual conference, members enjoy connecting online through monthly lunch-and-learns, where current trends, news, and ideas are shared, and groups collaborate on issues impacting their respective organizations.

CPTA is currently accepting new members. If you are a parking professional or organization interested in joining CPTA, visit cptaonline.org.
