*Transit Factoid* National Transportation Week: May 14-20th Whether you’re commuting home on the train, flying across the country to visit a friend, or taking the local bus down the street, we all know how much we rely on Public Transportation! This week long event was started by a woman named Charlotte Jones Woods in Texas in 1952, when she realized that the general public new next to nothing about transportation. However, the week did not become a nationwide event until 1962 when John F. Kennedy declared it an official holiday. During this week, we honor all the people who work to make all transportation systems an efficient, safe, and reliable way to travel.
