In general, the ATRA Chapter serves to promote the general welfare of its constituents. All ATRA Members are automatically members of their local chapter at no additional charge to their shop.

ATRA Chapter offer Members opportunities they could not realize on a National or International basis. The primary purpose of a chapter is to engage in local activities that directly affect and enhance the transmission rebuilding industry. These activities may include but are not limited to:

1. Working with community colleges to help train technicians, and for job placement.
2. Local advertising that promotes business for ATRA Members in that Chapter.
3. Meeting with Chapter shops to discuss business topics and solutions.
4. Provide technical and management training seminars and programs.
5. Sponsor other shops in the Chapter area for ATRA Membership.
