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!
