I am saddened by the sudden, tragic death of my colleague, MARTA CEO Jeff Parker. I will be forever grateful for the support and friendship he gave me as a new CEO in transit. His leadership will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Jeff’s family and MARTA's employees.

I'm saddened to hear of the untimely passing of my friend & former
#PennDOT
colleague, George McAuley. A 30+ year veteran of the department, George was a true champion for people & communities across Pennsylvania. My thoughts are with his family, friends & PennDOT colleagues.
As we look to the future, cutting edge rail technologies promise to bring clean, safe, reliable service to transit customers. Last week, I joined

testing and education to both

employees and the communities we serve.
Merry Christmas! Special shout out to our dedicated & resilient frontline employees who come in every day & kept us smiling with their ugly sweaters this week. Wishing everyone a joyous holiday season!
I look forward to joining friends and colleagues to discuss how we bring more riders back to transit for the 2021 Rail Conference on June 9.
