“We know this too shall pass, and once it does, we have to come out of it prepared to conduct business in a good fiscal manner.”

As COVID-19 affects public transit dramatically, we’re proud to present a special edition of Transit Unplugged led by transit evangelist and Trapeze VP Paul Comfort. In today's episode, we discuss how agencies are using technology to manage their transit systems during COVID-19. We then hear from Mike Bismeyer for “Mike’s Monday Minute,” where he encourages us to stay safe and pay it forward to those in need. Paul then talks with Gary Thomas, President of Dallas Area Rapid Transit, about what he believes the lasting financial implications of COVID-19 will be on transit. Plus, listen to Brett Koenig’s chapter from the bestselling new book, “The Future of Public Transportation.”
