Lochner proudly sponsored and attended the 2024 COMTO Headquarters National Conference, themed 'Transportation Equity: Meeting the Moment,' held last week in Houston, Texas. Each year, COMTO hosts its National Meeting & Training Conference, the foremost gathering for transportation professionals nationwide. Lochner's Taiwo J., BRT & Transit Planning Director, min Z., California Regional Manager, and Ruby Bueno-Garcia, PE, Project Manager, engaged in four days of learning, training, and networking with leaders across all transportation sectors. Unfortunately, Lochner’s Board Director and Transit & Rail Principal, Jonnie Thomas, PE, who serves on the COMTO Colorado Chapter Board of Directors, and West Coast Regional Manager, Marvin Thomas, who serves on the COMTO Washington Chapter Board of Directors, were unable to attend due to Hurricane Beryl. We extend our best wishes to those affected by the hurricane. As a proud national partner of COMTO, Lochner wholeheartedly supports their mission to ensure opportunities and maximum participation in the transportation industry for minority individuals, veterans, people with disabilities, and certified MWDBE businesses. This commitment is upheld through leadership training, professional development, scholarship and internship funding, political advocacy, partnership building, and networking opportunities. #COMTO #LochnerLeads https://bit.ly/3LqiVBb

NCURA 66th Annual Conference is in the books. It was another successful time of learning, building resources and partnerships, seeing old friends and making new ones, and utilizing our research administration skills! Just how did that happen you ask? Flight home was cancelled, rescheduled, and cancelled again. Utilizing critical thinking skills, explored alternative methods of transportation, asked pertinent questions to secure vehicle, booked vehicle, plotting best route, split driving duties to maximize travel time and impending deadline before hurricane forces reached destination, and followed the "yellow brick road" home! Success factors: Proposal deadline met - check! Proposed equipment purchased and secured - check! Timeline for deliverables established - check! Milestone schedule met - check! I slept comfortably in my home Wednesday night! I hope everyone had a wonderful experience at the conference and made it safely to their destinations! See you next year!

Update: Post Hurricane Response and Recovery Efforts Dear Friends, I hope this message finds you safe as we navigate the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl. The impact of the hurricane has been significant, and I want to update you on our current status and ongoing recovery efforts. Current Situation: Houston, along with other areas, has faced substantial disruptions. Currently, approximately 1.9 million homes and businesses are without power. This is down from 2.6 million on Monday afternoon. We anticipate that power will be partially restored to most of the area, reducing the number to around 800,000 by Thursday morning. This widespread power outage means that many local businesses, including ours, are unable to operate as usual. Team Status: All of our team members in Texas are currently without power, and cellular service has been unreliable at best, primarily restricted to voice, or texts, with very limited data services. Despite these challenges, our team members outside Texas are diligently monitoring our support systems and responding to client tickets as swiftly as possible. Client Support and Operations: We understand that several of our clients who operate globally are still conducting business and may require our services. We want to assure you that we are prioritizing support for connectivity and other critical services to ensure your operations can continue with minimal disruption. A significant portion of our client operations are internet-dependent and can be managed remotely; we are focusing our efforts on maintaining these services. Commitment to Service: Despite the unexpected severity of Hurricane Beryl— whose trajectory, intensity, and timing surprised us all — our commitment to supporting you remains unwavering. We are mobilized and doing everything possible to respond to service requests and ensure that your systems function as needed during this tumultuous time. Stay Informed: We will continue to provide updates as the situation progresses and more information becomes available. Your understanding and patience during this period is greatly appreciated as we work together towards recovery. Should you need assistance or have specific concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to support you. Emailing [email protected] is the best way to get your tickets handled quickly as phone services are very unstable. Thank you for your continued trust in Enstep Technology Solutions. We are committed to navigating these challenges together and emerging stronger. Best regards, Brett Passmore Owner Enstep Technology Solutions www.enstep.com

Have you seen the news?! 👀📺 Our very own Kylie Rowe, TMT’s Executive Director, is being featured this week on RTC’s The Road Ahead. In the segment airing on KOLO 8 News Now this Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, Kylie highlights a few of the #QualityofLife data indicators TMT tracks via NevadaTomorrow.org (our FREE community data portal! 📊), and shares how that publicly available data is then used to measure our collective progress, inform community stakeholders, and improve community well-being overall. A great example of this collaborative effort is the Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe Co.'s involvement in our Land Use & Infrastructure category, which includes various local transportation and safety data points, illustrating how these hyper-local indicators are instrumental to regional planning efforts and ultimately drive more economic development throughout the Truckee Meadows. If you happen to catch the segment at home, make sure to tag us @TMTdatastories! ☀️ https://lnkd.in/gAavZ6QE

WATCH: A New Era for Bobwhite Quail. Link below! In order to make significant progress in restoring bobwhite quail populations, wild lands and working lands must work together for the benefit of the life they support and the livelihoods they sustain. That’s why one of Quail Forever’s strategic priorities includes restoring and enhancing 780,000 acres of upland habitat on private land in targeted quail states by 2026. That may seem like a daunting task, but luckily there are proven programs, solid partnerships, and a brand-new opportunity for landowners to utilize. Watch our original film, “A New Era for Bobwhite Quail,” to learn about some of these landmark initiatives while also hearing from landowners who are making – and seeing – a difference for quail populations on their own properties in Georgia and Missouri.
