    Sep 20 2024
    Successful product management in public transit is about more than shipping features—it’s about delivering real value amidst an ever-changing landscape of policy, rider needs, and operational constraints. The key to innovation? Resist top-down control and create the conditions for teams to explore, iterate, and adapt.

  • TransitOPS: The Capacity to Endure
    Aug 29 2024
    "The Capacity to Endure: Sustaining and Growing In-House Transit Tech Expertise" examines how public transit agencies are increasingly turning to their in-house technologists to address challenges like declining ridership and financial strain, instead of relying on costly external consultants. The essay emphasizes the importance of aligning digital teams with broader agency goals, integrating financial sustainability into strategic planning, and maintaining a focus on long-term viability through continuous decision-making. It also highlights common pitfalls to avoid, such as misalignment and resource mismanagement, advocating for the empowerment of internal experts to shape the future of public transit.

The quality of collaboration between engineers and designers can be the tipping point, where small changes lead to significant improvements in delivering on-time solutions.
