Transportation Radio Content Question
I'm giving some
thought to beginning a series of audio interviews and would like your feedback
on what they should focus on. One
thought is to interview the heads of the various state DOTs around the US and
to talk about some of what they and their agencies are doing as far as
communications. This can include
topics such as ITS and public outreach.
A variation on that would be to talk to others in the agencies with a
focus more on ITS. Do you have a
preference? I'm also thinking
about talking to various transportation associations to hear a bit about some
of the communication challenges the industries they represent face. Whatever I decide to do, I'll still
have other transportation-related reports that I'll run from time-to-time. Please share your ideas with me. You can hear my previous reports here.
