SEARCHTransPro Consulting and METRO have collaborated once again to build on that foundation of executive curiosity to provide greater frequency and establish a new form of correspondence: a monthly column.

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.

This will be the gathering space for challenging conventional wisdom and the shiny topics that have the spotlight.

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.

For many years, the narrative surrounding public transit improvements has been heavily weighted toward environmental gains and carbon reduction. While these are undeniably crucial long-term benefits, the immediate focus of this new funding environment is firmly on demonstrable system efficiencies and a clear return on investment.

The notion of agencies being over- or underfunded, I argued, doesn’t hold up. If an agency wants to turn up the heat — to grow beyond the status quo — it must demonstrate measurable value.

Some agencies might suggest they are funded in the public transportation space. Some complain that they are funded too little. I have never heard a public transportation executive proclaim that they are funded too much. And if no public agencies are funded too much, then, by definition, none are funded too little. To steal from Goldilocks’ thinking, they are all funded just right.
