It was a pleasure to join Commisioner Regalado and our host Javier Betancourt on the Mobility Matters podcast. SFRTA /Tri-Rail has a good story to tell. We have made necessary improvements in the last year or so, recognizing that there is a lot of work left to do. – at Pompano Beach, FL

It’s been a few years (24?) but it was great to catch up and spend the morning with Tom Dupee who trained me as an engineer many moons ago. Tom was visiting south Florida as part of the National Railway Historical Society Florida Special.
