Welcome to A New Place to Challenge Conventional Wisdom and More

Today kicks off the next chapter of a long-standing partnership between the teams at METRO Magazine and TransPro Consulting. 

We have proudly partnered on facilitating several METRO Magazine-sponsored conferences and that relationship will continue — where we assemble leaders committed to driving an agenda of change, performance, and results. 

We have collaborated to build on that foundation of executive curiosity to provide greater frequency and establish a new form of correspondence: a monthly column.

What Lies Ahead

This is the space where we will consider complicated topics that many of us are grappling with, and most are whispering about, in the corners of conferences rather than on the main stage. What do we do when ridership doesn't return to pre-COVID levels after all this massive investment? We're ready for electric buses, but are electric buses ready for us?  How do we create leadership environments where risk is rewarded?  What are we going to do about the collision course of USDOL 13c regulations and the reality of autonomous technology?

This will be the gathering space for challenging conventional wisdom and the shiny topics that have the spotlight. This is where we will spotlight results — leaders of organizations that are crushing it. 

Who knew that customer satisfaction at New York City Transit has gone up 26% over the past 16 months? Why didn't we know that? Shouldn't we have known that? How did they do that? Look here for the answers. 

With that — off we go.  For those looking for a different conversation, you've found the right stop. Look for our first contribution to coincide with the week of APTA TRANSform & EXPO. See you then here on METRO-Magazine.com, and perhaps in person at the show as well.
