The Board of Directors is made up the following individuals, representing various segments of ground transportation from around the world and representing both operators and vendors:

“Our vision was to have a Board of Directors who reflects the ground transportation industry — diverse, innovative, and progressive.

Priority will be given to individuals and companies from newer and under-represented segments of ground transportation.
