Keynote Speaker - Day 1 - Robert Heath
Presenting Robert Heath, CEO of Legacy Leadership Consulting | TAM's 2022 Day 1 Conference Keynote Speaker Are you tired of feeling like every day you work hard and get a ton of things done but your inbox is never empty? It doesn’t matter how many fires you put out, there are always more, and they are usually the same types of fires, over and over! Do you often tell yourself you just need to power through, but deep down you know that is not the answer? Are you constantly facing the decision to sacrifice what you want in order to take care of others? Do you feel like any day now you just won’t want to do it anymore? That it’s not a question of if, but WHEN YOU WILL BURN OUT, AND THAT IS REALLY STARTING TO SCARE YOU? Robert helps attendees imagine what life would be like if they could get what they wanted and take care of those that they care about. He uses a rhetorical Q&A process to provoke the audience to think about the following:
Robert shows participants that what they want is within their reach. They don’t have to keep feeling like they have to be superheroes. In this session, Robert shows the audience how to live a life where they can have balance, feel fulfilled, and still achieve at a high level. By teaching them to get more done in less time and stay focused on what is important, they will be able to leverage the power of consistency and efficiency to exponentially increase their results in a short amount of time and improve their company’s bottom-line. They will be able to perform like the super achievers we all admire and get more done with less time and more fulfillment. Sessions: Vendor Presentations Beach House Ballroom

Presented by Lynn Berger of Strategic Evolutions LLC
Presenting Dan Mulraney, Director of Cape May County Fare Free Transportation | TAM's 2022 Day 2 Conference Keynote Speaker Welcome to The Chronology of Leadership, an energetic and enlightening program designed to create a better understanding of what it means to grow into a leadership role through all phases of your career. We will navigate through the trials and tribulations of hte complete beginner and transition to accepting new roles and responsibilities through the promotional process, while establishing yourself as a leader. Finally, we will discuss the need to prepare for your legacy by choosing your successor. Everyone in an organization falls within one of the four phases of leadership discussed in this workshop. Some staff members may remain in one of these phases for most of their tenure and some will move through all four phases over the course of their career. Either way, there is great value in understanding the professional growth that each phase has to offer at any particular point in a career, and how each phase contributes to the next as an individual grows into a comprehensive leader. Mental Health, Wellness, and Resilience for Transit Workers
Presented by Lynn Berger of Strategic Evolutions LLC Effective Time Management for Peak Performance
Presented by Kevin Stacey of TrainRight Inc.
This time management training program teaches attendees how to increase effectiveness by developing action plans, focusing on the activities that contribute to achieving their goals, prioritize tasks, and maintain the discipline needed to complete them. The program provides practical time management techniques for identifying key time wasters, setting boundaries, handling interruptions and maximizing productivity. Participants will learn how to incorporate these techniques into their daily activities by setting goals, writing out objectives and developing a daily action plan that promotes focus, discipline and creativity. Attendees will move from spinning their wheels to taking action along with making a plan for each day and sticking with it. Transit Route Planning
Service and operations planning for transit is not typically taught in school, so it tends to be somewhat of a black box for trained planners and members of the public alike. While transit planners all over the world have developed sophisticated methods of planning and evaluating transit, the principles of service design remain relatively simple. In this session, we will review the principles of transit service design and how to allocate and account resources. Equity in Transportation
Presented by Veronica McBeth, FTA This workshop will provide historical context on the role past transportation decisions have played in creating and maintaining inequities, offer academic perspectives on practices to promote a more equitable transportation system, and provide an opportunity for Transit professionals to discuss how their organizations can advance equity in its practices.
TAM Member Presented Sessions Going Fare Free
Presented by Jeff Barnett, Charles County; Deanna Archey, Montgomery County; Roman Steichen & Jaime McKay, Frederick County Many transit agencies are asking themselves if going fare free could bea way to address equity and ridership issues that have been exacerbated by the pandemic - if we can figure out how to pay for it. Representatives of TAM member agencies who have implemented fare free programs will participate in a panel discussion to talk about fare free's impact on ridership, community relations, finances, safety, and overall customer satisfaction. Low-No Grants
Presented by Tanya Nichols, MDOT/MTA Across the USA, governments are becoming serious about the transition to zero-emission public transit. The Federal Transit Administration is making billions in “Low-No” funding available to transit agencies. Agencies, operators, and municipalities across the United States can apply. For many agencies, Low-No grants have already kickstarted their transition. The funding is ideal for agencies that have publicly committed to a net-zero future but need help with the costs. Learn about creating a transition plan and successfully applying for this funding source. The Future of Fully Integrating Public Transit Networks
Presented by Sasha Schechter, Via Transportation; Kwaku Agyamang-Duah, City of Annapolis, Deanna Archey, Montgomery County From fixed route buses and rail to microtransit zones featuring dynamic shuttles, each mode of transit has its place in a mobility landscape. But the biggest challenge today is how to weave this patchwork of transportation options into one cohesive, integrated network that both serves the right mix of riders and is easy for passengers to understand. It all starts with a smarter strategy: How do you determine where each mode of transit is best suited? And most importantly, how can you confidently plan for each to complement (not compete with) each other? Join transit leaders from Annapolis GO in the City of Annapolis and RideOn in Montgomery County as they detail their unique approaches to new and improved integrated mobility networks.
