COMTO celebrates National Native American Heritage Month! In November, we honor and recognize the contributions of Native Americans to transportation and equity. Indigenous communities have long been leaders in developing sophisticated networks of trails, waterways, and trade routes that served as the backbone of early American transportation. Their contributions extend beyond technical advancements, fostering values of environmental stewardship, community, and equity. #COMTO #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #IndigenousHeritageMonth #TransportationEquity

Dear COMTO Family,? ? As the nation reflects on the results of this election, we are reminded of the significant role we all play in shaping an equitable and connected future. COMTO remains committed to ensuring that transportation serves everyone, regardless of background or community. We advocate for workforce development programs to ensure a highly skilled workforce, we educate elected officials on how critical it is to support small, minority- and women-owned businesses, and we invest in our young people. COMTO’S mission to champion diversity, equity, and inclusion in the transportation industry has never been more relevant or necessary.??? This week, as we celebrate COMTO Week, there is no better time to recommit to our purpose and support our shared goals. Together, we continue to advocate for policies and projects that positively impact the communities we serve and uplift voices that have been historically underrepresented. Let’s use this time to reconnect, reflect on our achievements, and look forward to the future we are building together. By empowering our members, we strengthen our industry and create lasting change that ensures transportation is fair, accessible, and inclusive for all. Thank you for being an integral part of COMTO’S mission. Here’s to our continued efforts and to the impact we are making across the nation!? ? With appreciation,?? The Conference of Minority Transportation Officials
