On this edition of TRECcast, we talk to UBER Elevate’s Travis Considine about the rideshare giant’s forthcoming vertiport initiative and what it will take for it to succeed here in Dallas. We caught up with Travis following his appearance on our panel during our September’s Bank of Texas Speaker Series event, “Transportation Revolution.”

Travis is UBER’s communications manager for Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, responsible for managing media relations and assisting the company’s policy teams at city and state levels. He has worked on the Elevate initiative in north Texas since Dallas was announced as a pilot city. Considine previously served as former Gov. Rick Perry’s press secretary and communications director for Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst.
