One of the best things about the show, we think, are the parts that aren't about transit at all. Things like leadership advice, insights into people, & how to be more successful in your career. Having a mentor, no matter what you do, can make all the difference in the world. #leadership #mentors

Over on our LinkedIn page (www.linkedin.com/company/tran... if you're interested), we do a Friday poll and I'm interested to see how this audience lines up with the LinkedIn folks. Here's the question: What do you value most in public transit? I'll put the options as responses, "like" to vote.

A nice thing about life in Portland is that now and then the transit agency emails me to say they're expanding service again, following the blueprint of the "Forward Together" growth plan we did with them last year.
