"What's your transportation story?" became our new favorite question to ask our guests after this interview with Kristin White. Kristin is the COO of ITS America, the former Executive Director of Minnesota DOT's CAVx program, and a passionate advocate for improving mobility outcomes for all. She joined the Gregs Rodriguez and Rogers at the TRB Annual Meeting to discuss how we can seize this transformative moment in transportation policy, the opportunity for the federal government to lead with a national vision for transportation technology, and facilitating better connections between researchers, government, and innovators.
