NATA Membership
The philosophy of membership is one of inclusion: local governments, economic development organizations, business organizations, educational and other non-profit organizations within the North Metro and northern Front Range areas interested in supporting transportation issues along the North I-25 Corridor and within the NATA geographic area. Private sector, economic development, and non-profit members will be recruited with the assistance of the locally elected members of NATA.
