The November TCN Fundraiser Continues

Thank you to all who have contributed during the November fundraiser! I very much appreciate the support. So far, GovScience Partners has been the only one to take advantage of my offer of an ad for a $100 donation. There are plenty of open dates available. If you'd prefer to simply make a donation, that's great. You'll find information below on how to do that.

Don't forget, Transportation Radio is a growing benefit I'm providing through the TCN. You'll hear professionally-produced stories on a variety of transportation topics, such as this one about an expanded rural traveler information service. Now available on iTunes, TuneIn and Stitcher
