Transportation Communications Newsletter
Monday, September 10, 2012 – ISSN 1529-1057
Bernie's Notes
Hopefully, the TCN is something you look forward to each day, but I'm sure there are steps I can take to make the newsletter even more useful. The newsletter currently has over 7,600 subscribers but that's just a fraction of the people involved in transportation communications. If there were one thing I could add to the TCN to make it a must read for those involved in transportation communications, what would that be? Please send me your suggestions at bernie@bwcommunications.net. Thanks!
