Public transportation isn’t just a way to get around, it’s a way for everyone to get to the places they want to go to without dealing with the hassles of parking, changing lanes, or paying excessive tolls. High quality, robust, frequent, & reliable transit networks are able to change lives for the better while being able to morph cities & towns into multimodal connectors.

“All the wonderful, life-changing opportunities we have are irrelevant without transit. “
Katharine Eagan Kelleman – CEO, Pittsburgh Regional Transit Pittsburgh, PA
Regardless of what time & environment we’re in – good times & bad, whether you have a car or not – transit will always be a necessary component to better people’s lives. This is a key reason why I built the Global Transit Guidebook, to not just showcase my experiences using transit, but to also educate those who may be reluctant to use transit as to just how important transit is to our communities.
Katharine Kelleman – who currently leads the transit agency in Pittsburgh, PA (but led Tampa, FL’s transit agency just prior to) is seen as a rockstar in the transit industry & a lot of what she has said about transit really speaks volumes! You can follow Mrs. Kelleman on Twitter (now known as X) @ms_eagan.
