For the past three years, Christina Belmont has been a senior marketing manager at Genfare where she’s proven herself as a valuable asset to not only Genfare but also the public transportation industry as a whole.
While balancing her full time job, she’s heavily involved with the American Public Transportation Association (APTA). Her knowledge of public transportation and expertise in fare collection is an advantage to the committee she chairs, APTA Tech, which was previously the Fare Collection Systems Planning Subcommittee.
This skillset was put to the test when she helped organize and implement one of the most well attended and profitable fare collection and technology conferences in recent history, the 2018 Fare Collection/Revenue Management and TransITech Conference.
This year, she was also named APTA EXPO Vice Chair, and she was accepted into APTA’s Emerging Leadership Program—both noteworthy accomplishments that will serve her and the industry well.
“More than anything, I truly enjoy working in an industry that has such a sound purpose—it’s what keeps you going every day.”
“I’m heavily involved with APTA, and all of that comes along with a demanding full time job. All of the extra work requires working at night and on weekends, but it’s all worth it in the end!”
