The provided source material focuses on membership benefits offered by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) and a separate list of freebies from a consumer-focused website. The core subject is not traditional consumer free samples or product trials but rather a professional trade association membership with a limited-time promotional offer. The complementary data includes a broad list of freebies and deals available to U.S. consumers, though these are not directly affiliated with APTA.
APTA is described as the public transportation industry’s largest and most influential trade association. It offers a special promotion for new members: three months of membership free before payment of dues is required. This is a limited-time offer that can be activated via an online membership application or by calling a provided phone number. The association's benefits are geared toward organizations and professionals in the public transportation sector, focusing on advocacy, networking, professional development, and access to resources.
The benefits of APTA membership, as detailed in the source material, include advocacy initiatives, such as calls for Congress to fully fund public transportation investments. Members gain access to peer-to-peer networking opportunities and professional development resources. Specific benefits for individual members include unlimited access to the APTA website with expert guidance, weekly email newsletters, and access to the APTA Digital Health App Library. Members also receive unlimited access to the APTA Guide to Physical Therapist Practice 4.0, can join the APTA Advocacy Network, and access evidence-based practice resources and clinical guidelines. They get full-text access to research from over 4,500 publications through the EBSCO discovery service, receive 11 issues per year of APTA Magazine and unlimited access to PTJ (APTA's scientific journal), and can take free courses in the APTA Learning Center. For physical therapists, there is an option to create a profile in the Find a PT directory. Members also have access to the APTA Insurance Program through HPSO for professional liability insurance.
Additional membership benefits include savings on national brands and services. Members can save 40% on New Balance shoes and apparel, up to 60% on theme parks, hotels, concerts, and movie tickets through MemberDeals, and gain access to Active&Fit for $28 per month, which includes over 10,800 on-demand videos and access to more than 12,200 gyms. They can save up to 25% on car and truck rentals from providers like Avis and Budget, receive over $100 off the subscription price for MedBridge individual plans in the first year, save up to 65% on shipping via UPS, save up to 75% on office and school supplies at ODP Business Solutions, and save up to 5% off sale prices from Dell Technologies Inc.
APTA also offers savings on its own products, services, and events. Graduating student members in the Early-Career Discount Program receive a 50% discount in their first year post-graduation, with additional savings for the next three years. Members save on registration for APTA’s Combined Sections Meeting (CSM). They can save 40% or more on individual CEU courses in the APTA Learning Center. For employers, an APTA Employer Group Membership pilot program offers discounts on individual national member rates when paying for APTA membership for at least five PT and/or PTA employees. Members can also save 45% on combined services.
The source material also highlights how APTA membership strengthens organizations. It provides access to decision-makers in the transit industry, improves visibility, and enhances firm credibility. Networking at conferences and serving on committees is noted as beneficial. APTA supports Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, Small-Business, and Women-owned firms. Specific testimonials from transit leaders and CEOs of engineering and transportation firms are included, emphasizing the value of networking, contracts, and strategic growth opportunities found through APTA membership. Members can also engage with state chapters, join sections or academies, participate in special interest groups, find volunteer opportunities, get involved with a council, and engage in House of Delegates policymaking. Donation opportunities are available for PTPAC (the fundraising organization supporting APTA's priorities), the PT Fund (supporting DEI efforts), and the Foundation for Physical Therapy Research.
