#THREAD I know some of you must be like, "Is this the same Joe who got all emotional on @CKNW's @steeletalk a moment ago?" YES.

Same JOE. Just I was an airplane guy before a transit guy. It's quite the story that starts in 2014. 1/

But for abridgment I almost lost my ride to #OLF #Coupeville on #Whidbey. 2 of my photos below.

Island Transit was going bankrupt. But got saved.

As I mentioned in the clip we got a serious land use problem down there also. 2/

Decided once immediate crisis w/ Island Transit was fixed to join local rider advisory cmte. Obviously everything I tweet here are MY personal views.

Frustrated at stagnant service started poking around to see what other jurisdictions were doing. Found @TransLink & @BowinnMa. 3/

I will spare this thread my thoughts of the best MLA in the game. You get them... too often.

But quite frankly I just you all understand the same human who suits up for transit is the same human who loves aviation. Remember: Aviation is only TWO percent of emissions. Thx. 4/4
