In this special collaboration,  I had the great pleasure of guest hosting on the Commuter Rail Coalition's Commuter Rail Conversations for an interview with Sam Sargent, Caltrain’s Director of Strategy and Policy. We had an awesome conversation about taking leaps. First, Sam's big leap from Austin Texas to California’s Bay area and then Caltrain's leap into electrification of its commuter rail service. Sam brings Caltrain a fresh perspective from his many years working with the greater Austin community as CapMetro’s Director of Government Affairs. He recently joined Caltrain, just five months ago, and has hit the ground running!
