Welcome back to Moving Arizona. I'm so excited about the lineup of transportation rockstars I'm interviewing! Upcoming guests include thought-leaders implementing equity programs that could be game changers for our industry nationally, to champions for transportation in the southern part of our state, and incredible leaders here in the Valley.

Up first, is my dear friend Vinny Gallegos, Executive Director for the Central Yavapai Metropolitan Planning Organization. Vinny just celebrated the two year anniversary of his return to CYMPO from Lake Havasu where he was serving as their Executive Director. He brought some great lessons learned from his experience in Havasu and has implemented some terrific programs and projects in the greater Prescott area. Our chat ranges from DEI, to micro transit, and the implications of 400E for greater Arizona.
