Our History
Founded in 1971 on the campus of Howard University in
Washington, DC, the Conference Of Minority Transportation
Officials (COMTO) was created to provide a forum for senior
level minority professionals in the transportation industry. It
was an occasion to act, born of the need to address the
inequities of a rapidly expanding industry within which its
minority workers, upon whose shoulders the industry was
built, were not allowed the same access to employment,
promotion and contract opportunities. It was recognized from
the beginning that COMTO was positioning itself for a long
and arduous, but rewarding, history.
The founders, leaders and dedicated workers whose original
vision formed the foundation of the organization would be
proud of where COMTO stands today. With thirty-nine (39)
chapters across the country and members encompassing
individuals, organizations, transportation agencies,
non-profits and Historically Underutilized Businesses
(HUBs), efforts have ensured that members of COMTO now
serve in every sector of the transportation industry.
Since its inception, COMTO has continued to evolve to
become the premier organization for the training, education
and professional development of minority transportation
professionals. The true measure of how far COMTO has
come is revealed by the talent, tenacity and
accomplishments of the members who have joined forces to
correct the inequities of the past and chart the direction of
the future.
