Bernie's Notes
I'd
like to highlight something new that I'm doing with the TCN and Transportation Radio. Yesterday marked the debut of a new
series I've begun on ITS organizations around the world. The first show featured Josh Peterman
of ITS California discussing his organization and their upcoming annual
meeting. I hope to have one new show in this series each month. Next month,
I'll feature ERTICO-ITS Europe and the ITS World Congress. My thanks to the
series sponsor, Econolite. Please give it a listen and let me know what you
think. I'd also welcome you sharing the show with others.
