As we look ahead to the 2026 SWTA + NMTA Joint Annual Conference & EXPO, presented by Model 1 Commercial Vehicles, we’re excited to take a moment to properly introduce—and celebrate—our Headline Sponsor.

Model 1 Commercial Vehicles is more than a vehicle provider; they are a long-term partner to transit agencies across the country. For over 40 years, Model 1 has worked alongside public transit systems to solve complex transportation challenges with practical, scalable, and forward-thinking solutions.

With a nationwide presence and one of the industry’s most extensive inventories, Model 1 supports agencies of all sizes with buses, vans, work trucks, and cutting-edge electric vehicles. Their approach is built around end-to-end service, ensuring agencies have the right vehicles, the right support, and the confidence to meet evolving community needs.

What truly distinguishes Model 1 is their commitment beyond delivery. With 20+ fully equipped service locations across the United States, Model 1 helps keep fleets running efficiently long after the keys are handed over. This comprehensive support structure allows transit agencies to focus on what matters most—reliable service, rider experience, and community connection.

Model 1 is also a leader in helping agencies navigate the transition to zero-emission and sustainable transportation. From technical expertise to a diverse portfolio of clean-energy vehicles, they provide the tools and guidance needed to meet environmental goals while maintaining performance and reliability.

Accessibility and customization remain central to Model 1’s work. From ADA-compliant solutions to tailored fleet upfitting, they partner closely with transit teams to deliver vehicles that reflect real-world operational needs.

As our Headline Sponsor, Model 1 Commercial Vehicles embodies the values that drive SWTA forward—innovation, partnership, and a shared commitment to strengthening public transit. We invite attendees to connect with Model 1 during the 2026 Conference & EXPO and learn more about how their experience and expertise continue to move transit forward.
