Comforts Corner: How Agencies Can Recover From COVID-19
\u201cI do think that when we get out of this COVID-19 world, transit will go back to where it was before.\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 some of the ways transit agencies are using this service downtime productively. We then hear from Peter Varga, APTA Board Member and former CEO of The Rapid transit system, about his thoughts on how agencies can recover from COVID-19 and the impact of the U.S. federal transit stimulus package. Peter then reads his chapter on the Federal Transit Authority from the bestselling new book, \u201cThe Future of Public Transportation.\u201d
