YPT also offers members the opportunity to participate in occasional site tours – ranging from airport tours to subway expansion projects – providing a better understanding of projects in the field and a unique and fun experience outside of the office. The YPT National Board of Directors continues to meet monthly on the second Monday of each month. All members are encouraged to attend Board of Directors meetings and to interact with the National Board and members of each chapter Board. A complete directory for the National Board of Directors is provided at the end of this report. YPT plans to continue its partnerships with other organizations going forward, including the Women’s Transportation Seminar and the Eno Foundation, among others.
Membership YPT continues to grow its number of paid members. Access to some of our more popular events is limited to dues-paying members, which encourages those who are interested to become members and have priority access. Those who are not duespaying members but still choose to be part of our communication channels are YPT “friends”.

2012 Annual Report
In response to growing information technology demands spurred by YPT’s growth and expansion into a chapterbased organization, the Board of Directors has begun the implementation of a new, integrated membership database and management system. This system is a significant investment, but once fully operational later this year, will allow YPT to begin its first large-scale membership campaign.
