This week Paul talks with Laura Hendricks, CEO of Transdev US https://transdevna.com/ , about her career starting as a driver at FedEx, Trandev's global expertise transitioning to zero emissions, and how Transdev combined with First Transit brings more cohesive transit solutions to transit agencies.

As the largest private transportation contractor in the world, Transdev is uniquely positioned to apply its global expertise to a wide range of transit needs and challenges. From zero emissions to schools to paratransit, Transdev covers the gamut of needs for communities. And Laura takes the responsibility to build and support a robust transit infrastructure seriously. Laura refers to her leadership role at Transdev as her legacy project--something her children and grandchildren can look on and see her positive impact on the world.

Tune in for this amazing interview with one of the world's great transit leaders.

In our Mike's Minute segment, Mike Bismeyer reflects on Laura's words and connects them to the CUTA Fall Conference and Young Leaders Summit. Mike zeros in on the importance of mentors and flexibility in your career. You never know just where transit will take you in your career. Listen to Mike's advice in his segment.

Next week on the show, we're bringing you a special in-depth look at AI in public transit. Paul and producer/editor Tris Hussey are joined by guests Eve Machol of Microsoft and Renee Autumn Ray of Hayden AI to talk about how AI is changing all facets of how public transit is delivered today and what the future holds in this space.
