Happy 2020! Thanks to all members and our generous sponsor (HDR) for making 2019’s holiday party a huge success!
Power Lunch
We’ll be getting together for lunch downtown at the public atrium at 60 Wall Street. Bring your lunch or grab something on the way, and enjoy a break from your day with fellow YPT-ers.
When: Tuesday, January 14th, 12-1PM Where: 60 Wall Street, New York, NY 10005
We have launched a new website, which is linked to our social media accounts and updated with our latest events, so please feel free to follow us there and offer feedback.
Join us for drinks and appetizers this Wednesday, 12/18! The new 2019-2020 Board looks forward to meeting everyone and thanking last year’s Board for a job well done.
The party is free but you must be a member to attend. If you bring a friend, and they become a YPT member at the happy hour, you both get a free drink!
When: Wednesday, December 18th, 6-8 PM Where: The Half Pint, 76 W 3rd St, between Thompson St and LaGuardia Pl
We thank our generous sponsor, HDR, for helping us make this another fun event for all!
Book Club
We are happy to announce our latest book club selection, Policing the Open Road: How Cars Transformed American Freedom. Author Sarah Seo chronicles how the rise of the car, the symbol of American personal freedom, inadvertently led to ever more intrusive policing—with disastrous consequences for racial equality in our criminal justice system. We will give away a copy of the book to three lucky recipients at the party.
Take Our Survey!
Please take our short survey so we know how we are doing. We want to provide opportunities for professional development, networking, and most importantly, fellowship with professionals, academics, and enthusiasts in the transportation field.
Coming Soon
We look forward to providing inclusive and engaging programming in the coming year. We will soon be launching a member profile series, book club, networking lunches, game nights, and many other events, so stay tuned, and see you at our holiday party!

2018-2019 YPT-NYC Year in Review
October 31st marked the conclusion of another productive year at YPT-NYC. We would like to express our gratitude to all of our members and partners for making the past year such a tremendous success. We organized 18 summer tours (including new additions like Sunnyside Yard, TurnStyle, and 6 1/2 Avenue), and we also launched our mentorship program, as well as facilitated a LinkedIn workshop and coworking events. In addition, we continued organizing our many hikes, happy hours, and networking lunches, as well as game nights, trivia nights, scavenger hunts, and author talks. We look forward to more successful programming in the new year!
