Bobit Business Media is now accepting member applications for its new association, the Global Ground Transportation Institute (GGTI), which welcomes professionals from the limousine, shuttle bus, motor coach, and autonomous vehicle industries and beyond. These industries span Bobit Business Media’s transportation and fleet brands. 

Members will have access to free webinars, training courses and educational events, marketing tools, whitepapers, sponsorship, and advertising opportunities, reduced registration at GGTI partnered events, and access to a database of more than 200,000 corporate fleet and travel managers. 

Bobit has long served the global ground transportation industry, with a special focus on the limousine, bus, and fleet sectors, with brands such as: Luxury Coach & Transportation (LCT), METRO, Automotive Fleet, School Bus Fleet, and Heavy-Duty Trucking. Bobit’s fleet-specific brands reach 250,000 fleet professionals, nine magazines, 13 conferences and trade shows, and 11 industry websites. Bobit covers every aspect of the fleet market including commercial, rental, and government fleets that utilize cars, vans, and light-medium- and heavy-duty trucks.

Bobit is also a leader in the autonomous vehicle space with its Fleet Forward Conference. 

LCT Magazine has been the most influential global media brand for the chauffeured transportation industry for more than 30 years. METRO Magazine has served the bus and rail markets since 1904. METRO’s BusCon event, to be held in September, has been considered the largest bus show for the past two decades.

News and industry thought-leadership aside, Sherb Brown, Bobit Business Media president, said the collective was created out of the need for the ultimate resource for benchmarking, training and connecting with other industry professionals.

The Global Ground Transportation Institute is already receiving support from other industry groups. Sarah Gazi, certified association executive and executive director of GGTI, said the Institute will help unify all segments of ground transportation. 

“Some really cool things will be coming for the members following the launch and in the coming months as this new community grows and evolves." said Gazi. The board of directors for GGTI is currently being established.
