METRO Magazine Managing Editor Alex Roman talked to Forbes about the agency’s workforce development program, its route maximization project, and his plans for the future of Palm Tran.
The tour was part of Garrett A. Morgan Shadow Day, an event celebrating African American achievements in transit.
Clinton B. Forbes spent hours on the phone assisting fixed-route riders with questions, directions, and other transit needs.
The bus debuted at the 2018 MLK parade, sponsored by the City of Riviera Beach, Fla., in honor of Dr. King’s birthday on Jan. 13, 2018.
The bus was designed in partnership with Susan G. Komen South Florida and a local advertising firm to highlight racial disparities in breast cancer treatment.
The program helps employees eliminate the roadblocks typically associated with upward movement within an organization.
The agency received the awards at the FPTA's annual conference, which honors innovative transit leaders throughout the state and was co-hosted this year by Palm Tran and Tri-Rail.
The Palm Beach Partners Business Matchmaker Conference & Expo attracted more than 400 participants from numerous business disciplines.
The agency made roughly 3,500 paratransit trips throughout the region on Sept. 8th — the day the majority of evacuations took place.
Palm Tran utilized four buses, included a 60-foot articulated bus, for transporting the pets. The effort involved multiple trips and took two days.
