Peter M. Rogoff, administrator of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), made such a positive impression when he attended the Oct. 4 meeting of the APTA Transit Board Members Committee in Orlando that the committee members voted unanimously to make him an honorary member.

Rogoff acknowledged the hard work performed by transit board members, especially at a time when demand for service is very high and revenue is tight: they help, guide, and protect the general managers and staff to let them do their job in providing services.

The administrator also spoke positively about one particular transit board member—M.P. Carter of the Memphis Area Transit Authority—becoming chair of APTA.

Welcoming FTA Administrator Peter M. Rogoff, second from left, as an honorary member of the APTA Transit Board Members Committee are, from left, committee membership chair John Danish, Dallas Area Rapid Transit board; committee Secretary Alison Hewitt, Hillsborough Area Regional Transit board; Chair W. Randy Wright, Hampton Roads Transit board; Vice Chair Gloria Leonard, Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority board; and Flora Castillo, APTA vice chair-transit board members.
