TCN Fund Drive
One of the things I
like best about producing the TCN is that it allows me to stay on top of transportation
news from around the world. While
there are negative stories I run across, they are outweighed by the positive
articles about new technologies (see story #3), ways organizations are working
together (story #11) and how even basic communications can save lives (story #8). I hope that by sharing these articles
daily I, in some small way, am able to influence the advancement of
transportation by letting you see what others are doing and using these ideas
in your own organization. Twice a
year I reach out for financial support to keep the TCN going. This June is one of those times. Please see below how you can help
support the TCN.
