Comforts Corner: Financial Implications of COVID-19
\u201cWe know this too shall pass, and once it does, we have to come out of it prepared to conduct business in a good fiscal manner.\u201d
As COVID-19 affects public transit dramatically, we\u2019re proud to present a special edition of Transit Unplugged led by transit evangelist and Trapeze VP Paul Comfort. In today's episode, we discuss how agencies are using technology to manage their transit systems during COVID-19. We then hear from Mike Bismeyer for \u201cMike\u2019s Monday Minute,\u201d where he encourages us to stay safe and pay it forward to those in need. Paul then talks with Gary Thomas, President of Dallas Area Rapid Transit, about what he believes the lasting financial implications of COVID-19 will be on transit. Plus, listen to Brett Koenig\u2019s chapter from the bestselling new book, \u201cThe Future of Public Transportation.\u201d
