“Cities are the engines of this nation. To have healthy and thriving cities, you need a good public transportation system. You need good mobility.”

Michael Allegra, now retired, is the former CEO of the UTA. His public transit career is a bit of an oddity because he spent his entire 37-year career with a single agency. In this episode, Allegra discusses the big victories during his time at UTA (hosting the Winter Olympics and building 200km of transit in 14 years) and how partnerships were essential to their success.
