Bernie's Notes
I'm going to be taking a vacation the rest of this week. I'll still be publishing the TCN but there probably will be fewer stories than usual and the newsletter won't likely be sent promptly at 6 pm ET, as it usually is. I'll have limited e-mail access so I may not be able to include items you send me or respond promptly to your messages.
Upcoming Events
Webinar – Congestion Pricing Projects in the San Francisco Bay Area: I-680 Express Lanes and Bay Bridge Time-of-Day Pricing – March 30
