Bernie's Notes
Today's TCN features the first in what I hope will be a series of Transportation Radio interviews with leaders of departments
of transportation. My first guest is Mississippi DOT Executive Director Melinda
McGrath. We talk about MDOT in general, but also focus on ITS, communications
and autonomous vehicles. You'll find it under story #8.
