Founded in 2014, YPT Toronto is the local GTHA chapter of Young Professionals in Transportation (one of only a handful of Canadian chapters!). We work to facilitate networking, a sense of community and professional development within the transportation industry. All of our events and programming give young professionals an opportunity to network in a low-stress environment with like-minded individuals, all while learning about the transportation industry in the GTHA. We have approximately 70 members and many more people attending our open events, with close to 1,500 followers on LinkedIn.
Our Goals
