The American Public Gas Association (APGA) is the only national association of publicly owned natural gas distribution systems. Formed in 1961, APGA has approximately 700 members in 36 states. The association's members are publicly owned gas systems that are owned by, and accountable to, the citizens that they serve. They include:

APGA members participate through their association with the organization's committees. Committees include:

Mayors and utility board members can also be involved in the association's activities through participation in the APGA Public Gas Policy Council. The Council is made up of elected and appointed officials from public gas communities across the US and assists APGA with its advocacy efforts.

“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
