Episode 011:
The Future of Transportation
with Elliot “Lee” Sander
We’re talking about the future of transportation. The pandemic has changed the way people travel, even the frequency and the distance of the daily commute. What does that mean for the public transit systems of New York? How do we reimagine transportation as we move forward?
This week’s episode features Elliot “Lee” Sander, President, Americas at BOMBARDIER. Lee served as Commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation from 1994 to 1996, where he was credited with improving the agency’s performance, including eliminating graffiti and debris from the City’s highways and bridges. In 2007, Lee was appointed by New York Governor Eliot Spitzer as Executive Director and CEO of the MTA, which operates New York’s subway, bus, and bridge and tunnel network, and the commuter rail system for both New York and Connecticut.
