Transportation Radio Series to Feature Interviews with State DOT CEOs

Mississippi DOT Executive Director Melinda McGrath was the first in a series of interviews I hope to be doing with the heads of the state DOTs. Each of the interviews will be posted here in the TCN, as well as other transportation newsletters I edit. If you'd like to have your state's transportation chief interviewed on Transportation Radio, please drop me a note at bernie@transportationradio.com. Also, if your business is interested in sponsoring one or more of this series of podcasts, please let me know. I'll still be featuring other interviews on Transportation Radio, such as the one posted today (Story #4) with ITS Canada.
