**Note from Bernie**

This month the TCN will celebrate its 25th anniversary! That makes it one of the oldest transportation e-newsletters in the world! In fact, the TCN has been around longer than Google (but not quite as financially successful).

To mark the occasion, I will be holding one of my rare fundraising drives during June. Contributions are welcome by check, mailed to the address below. You may also contribute electronically via Venmo (Bernie-Wagenblast) or PayPal (@TransportComm).

Thank you!
