Public transit doesn't run on technology alone

Via Mobility Infrastructure Product November 5, 2026

It runs on planners, operators, and advocates showing up every day to improve their communities. That’s why we’re excited to launch ‘Transit Nerds Who Move Us’, a series highlighting transit champions who are making a difference.

First up: Tod Morris, Senior Mobility Management Planner at NACOG, who earned 21 nominations for championing rural and tribal transit across Northern Arizona.

He discovered the impact of regional planning in grad school and now drives out to reservations to meet partners where they are. In Tod’s words, transit provides the essential connections that "allow people to stay in the communities they love."

His advice to future transit pros? Jump in—with new tech and deep ties to public health and economic development, now is the time to make a difference.

Stay tuned for our next Transit Nerd announcement!
