Registration is officially open for ThinkTransit 2026, and we’re looking forward to welcoming the transit community to Boston this spring. Every year, this conference brings together professionals across operations, technology, planning, and leadership to share ideas, learn from one another, and spark new approaches to mobility. Boston is the perfect backdrop for these conversations, with its blend of historic transit roots and forward-looking innovation.
ThinkTransit 2026 takes place March 30-April 1, 2026, with sessions, hands-on training, and networking events designed to support both new and returning attendees. Whether you’re exploring emerging technology, focusing on daily operational challenges, or preparing your agency for long-term growth, you’ll find content that meets your needs and encourages fresh thinking.
Revolutionizing Transit: Our 2026 Theme
This year’s theme, Revolutionizing Transit, highlights the industry’s rapid transformation. Agencies are adopting new tools, reimagining service models, and working to stay ahead of changing rider expectations. The conversations happening now will shape how transit evolves in the years ahead.
At ThinkTransit 2026, you’ll be part of this momentum. The program will explore practical strategies and real-world examples that show how organizations are modernizing their operations, improving the rider experience, and creating more resilient systems. It’s an opportunity to trade insights with peers who are pushing the boundaries of what transit can be.
