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

They can’t really. The BIL is set until 2026 until just before the midterms. What Congress can do is reduce the amount of money that can be spent vs what is allowed to be allocated. APTA, all the agencies, and all the other associations are actively working on that.

Transit Unplugged @transitunplugged.com · 22/11/2024

Not to mention TriMet won APTA’s 2024 innovation award for the Instacart Plus and paratransit program. We’re featuring Eileen Collins Turvey next week on the show. Hope you’ll listen. lnkfi.re/transit-unpl...

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.
