Our keynote speaker, Therese McMillan, talked about the rich history of DTA over the past 25 years and the state of transit in the country. Robbie Sarles, who has been a trainer on the national scene on FTA's Drug & Alcohol Program, since its conception, spoke on Tuesday morning about some of the latest changes in regulations. Tuesday afternoon there were two panel presentation & discussions; Lori Van Beek from Moorhead facilitated Transportation Coordination and Mobility Management and later Julie Bommelman from Fargo Metropolitan Area Transit facilitated a session on Emergency Preparedness. On Wednesday morning regional eight FTA personal Terry Rosapep, Jennifer Stewart & Susan Martin conducted training regarding to FTA reporting and other Transit Requirements.
