Thanks, Brainz Magazine for posting my latest article about getting in the "calm zone." Sometimes, you need to slow down to speed up. Do you know how to do that in a calm manner? Check out my article. #truemanpodcast #startyourcomebackstory

Allow us to introduce Marcia Lopisi, a cherished member of the Mark IV Transportation family since May 2017. Her favorite aspect of working with Mark IV is the warm, familial atmosphere that makes every day enjoyable. When it comes to her career, Marcia believes her proudest moment is yet to come, leaving room for future accomplishments. What might surprise many is that she attended a one-room county schoolhouse in the heart of Nebraska, where just 16 kids shared the same classroom from kindergarten to sixth grade, a truly unique educational experience. If given a superpower, Marcia would choose the ability to turn back time, a power that could reshape any moment in history. She aptly describes the culture at Mark IV as an extended family, emphasizing the close-knit bonds among colleagues. Outside of work, Marcia finds joy in spending time with her kids and husband, tending to her garden, and enjoying the company of her dogs. Her journey into the industry was serendipitous, as she stumbled upon it while responding to an ad for an Inbound Operations Manager at Ford Auto in 2003. Prior to that, she was busy training new managers at Panera Bread. One of the items on Marcia's bucket list is to visit Israel, an adventure she looks forward to in the future. Lastly, if she could offer advice to her younger self, it would be to stop second-guessing and trust her instincts. #MeetMarcia #MarkIVFamily #FutureAchievements #UniqueBackground #TimeTravelWish #BucketListDreams #LifeAdvice

This is such a meaningful program. And it's free to enroll. If you are in school transportation, I honestly cannot understand why you would not participate.

You have a shot at a free ride to the School Transportation News' STN EXPO in Reno, Nevada (including room and board and transportation). Not to mention recognition within your community, your district, your administration and your peers in neighboring districts. Should I go on? Not to put a guilt trip on you, but you OWE it to your team to throw your hat in the ring. But here's the hitch: TODAY IS THE LAST DAY to enroll. Yes, there still is time, but you need to do it now.

Transportation in motion

The big question is: When will Waymo start to offer shared rides so that more passengers can be transported with a certain number of cars? That is necessary to avoid more congestions. The next question is: How should the vehicle be designed so that all users feel safe and comfortable when sharing rides with strangers in a car without driver or other attendant? I saw this problem 10 years ago and have a patent on the solution Robo-Shared-taxi www.RoboStaxi.com

ICYMI: "The program also includes a generous incentive of up to $9,000 for a new EV lease, or up to $2,500 off a used EV lease. The maximum incentive is available for leases on a three-year term, or longer. People earning 300% or below of the federal poverty level are eligible for the program’s incentives. That works out to earnings of less than $45,180 annually for a single person or less than $93,600 for a family of four. The program will run through June 2025 or until funds run out." https://lnkd.in/g9Wqe7qi
