A bit over 3 years ago, I had the honor of accepting the role of Chief Information Officer for Monterey-Salinas Transit. It was a bit of a full-circle moment for me as I myself was a Transit Bus Driver early in my life. So was my wife (it’s where we met). It’s been a return-to-my-roots move I have never regretted.

Providing this vital Public Service is a massive coordinated effort, even in a “small” agency such as ours. And the reality is it simply could not happen without the Drivers, Mechanics, Operations, Facilities, Customer Service, Human Resources, Planning, Administrative Staff, and (yes) Technology Staff showing up and Making It Happen Every Single Day.

So here is my personal Thank You to everyone at mst.org, as well as all the other Transit Peeps out there. The world is a better place for the work you do.
