TCN Fundraiser

 

I mentioned in my first fundraising note that there are several ways you can support the TCN. One of those methods is to hire me to provide voiceover work for whatever project you may have. I've done a variety of transportation voice projects. These include providing the voice for several transit agency public address systems (NYC Subway, AirTrain & PATCO), the phone voice for the main numbers of The Port Authority of NY & NJ and PATH, and the narration for a number of videos for companies such as Iteris, Econolite, Sensys Networks and DBi Services. I've even done radio and TV spots for NJ Transit and online course narrations for the University of Maryland. You can hear samples of my work by clicking this link. You'll find my rates reasonable and my turnaround time quick.

 

Of course, you can also support the TCN with a contribution. You'll see how to do that with the link below. Thank you for your ongoing support!

Reno A&E to Host Webinar on Tuesday, July 14th, "Automatic Vehicle Identification & Ingress (AVI) Solutions - Making Life Easier"

Please join us on July 14th for an informative 45-minute webinar on the Reno A&E Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) & Ingress System that provides for rapid access for authorized vehicles to enter gated / secure areas automatically. Our unique AVI transponder emits a low frequency signal that is inductively coupled with any existing roadway loop connected to any one of our several AVI loop detectors. This webinar will relate how gated communities are using the system to allow only authorized vehicles to gain prompt access, without having to use keys or key pads. This technology is also being used to provide transit signal priority for buses at intersections without additional roadside infrastructure. To register, kindly visit http://bit.ly/1fJSC82.

July Fundraiser

 

Usually I hold my twice-a-year fundraising in November and June. Last month was a busy one with the wedding of one of my daughters so I postponed it until July. As in the past, I appreciate whatever support you can provide for the TCN. There are a number of options and not all of them involve money.

 

The easiest one is just letting others interested in transportation communications know about the TCN and invite them to subscribe. All they have to do is send me an email and I'll add them to the list. You can also financially support the TCN by making a contribution (please see below for details), buying an ad or hiring me to do voice work. I'll give details on those in the days ahead. As always, thank you!
