The President leads the association, he chairs the meetings and sets the priorities of the agenda.

 Board members may renew their term as long as they are willing to serve. In fact it has been the case since the beginning of EMTA, except for an enlargement of the Board in Stockholm in 2007 from 5 to 9 members, and this has ensured a stable leading group for a long term strategy. At the time of election the candidate holds responsibilities in the organisation of transport within the Transport Authority he represents” Art8a.
