Closing Luncheon Speaker:
Dale Marsico - Executive Director of the Community
Transportation Association of America
 Dale
J. Marsico became Executive Director of the
Community Transportation Association of America in November of 1996.
During his
time with the Association he has worked to broaden support for
community and
public transportation by reaching out to those who already understand
the need
for a strong national commitment to mobility and those who need a new
understanding and appreciation of the potential transit provides for
all
Americans. Nowhere is this connection better understood than in the
pages of
the Association's award winning publications RAIL
and Community Transportation
magazines, where Dale views his role as publisher as an opportunity to
further
both goals.
In recent years the Association's legislative efforts can be seen in
the
improvement for community transportation in several important areas
like
SAFETEA-LU, the Deficit Reduction Act, and in proposed reforms to our
health
and human services programs. During his time at the Association Dale
has also
expanded the services offered by the organization and was the driving
force
behind the creation of the Community Transportation Development Fund, a
certified development organization financing and investing in community
and
public transportation organizations.
Prior to coming to the Community Transportation Association, Dale
worked in
Texas and helped found the Brazos Transit System, where he played an
early and
active role in several innovative programs like the development of Town
Center
in the Woodlands. Additionally he worked on the establishment of
innovative
partnerships to extend health care and transportation in rural
communities.
