We can all agree that accessibility is crucial to transit. This is one of those things we all know and support, but sometimes we all miss the boat. And it's not malice, often we just didn't know. Like, did you know when you share your screen during an online meeting there is no screen reader available (for the visually impaired) that can handle it? None. So what does that mean for your online meetings? And that's just one of the things Ron Brooks and Kristen Joyner talk about with Paul this week on the show. Ron and Kristen talk about their new book which is part guidebook and part insight for making the world more accessible for everyone. Link to listen in the comments.

We've got something special for you today: Transit Unplugged Deep Cuts. This week we had Schneider St.Preux on the podcast talking about his career and how he's gone from bus operator to General Superintendent of Bus Operations at Miami-Dade County DTPW. And in the interview he talked about mentors, the people who have supported him, and leadership. As it happens we had his boss Eulois Cleckley on the show a while ago talking about the very topic! So we went into the vault and pulled out that interview for you as a special bonus. Link to listen in the comments.
