President’s Message

COMTO North Texas leadership

The Tipping Point of Opportunities in Transportation

Humbly stepping into the Presidency of the COMTO North Texas Chapter, I am thankful for the past leadership of Ruben Landa. Taking on this important role, I am reminded of a quote from Malcolm Gladwell’s work, The Tipping Point, “If you want to bring a fundamental change in people's belief and behavior...you need to create a community around them, where those new beliefs can be practiced and expressed and nurtured." North Texans are our people, equity in transportation is our belief, and COMTO North Texas is a critical component of that community.

If you want to bring a fundamental change in people’s belief and behavior, you need to create a community around them.
— Marvin Jackson,

Looking ahead, COMTO North Texas will continue to nurture our community internally and externally through our national and local partnerships with organizations such as Women's Transportation Seminar (WTS). We are also steadfastly aligned with the COMTO National and our 37 sister chapters around country as we continue to serve as the voice of equity in transportation.
