My Vision

Expand Access to Opportunity

Cities bring people together. Transportation connects them. A great transit system provides access to all the abundant opportunities the city offers.

  • Prioritize safe and barrier-free access to everyone, including students, seniors, and riders with disabilities.

  • Look beyond the bus stop, working with local partners like Heartland Bike Share to support first & last mile connections.

  • Whether walking, biking, riding, or driving support a full range of mobility options across the city. 

Enhance the Rider Experience

Let’s build a system that efficiently connects people with where they want to go, and does so with reliability, comfort, and convenience. 

  • Extended service with enhanced frequency makes transit work on riders’ schedules, rather than the other way around.  

  • Value the customer with high standards for on-time performance, clean vehicles, and comfortable stations and shelters.  

  • Invest in technology that enhances efficiency and keeps riders informed.

Forward-Looking, Responsible Stewardship

Whether you ride Metro daily, occasionally, or not at all – everyone benefits from the access the city-wide system provides. 

  • Implement strategies that are both environmentally and economically sustainable, resulting in cleaner air, less roadway congestion, and a resilient economy.  

  • Reflect the community’s voice via continuous engagement with residents, businesses, and local governments.

  • Steward the taxpayers’ resources wisely. Seek collaborative partnerships and innovative models to enhance service delivery.

A connected city is a better city.
