In this episode of Stop Requested, Levi McCollum and Christian Londono talk with Ehren Bingaman, National Transit Practice Leader at Burgess & Niple, about leadership, organizational purpose, and what it takes to turn transit plans into meaningful results. Drawing on his experience in Indianapolis, Detroit, and Atlanta, Ehren shares lessons on building coalitions, aligning stakeholders, and leading organizations through complex challenges.
The conversation explores why transit agencies need to define success based on the value they provide to their communities rather than relying solely on traditional metrics like ridership. Ehren also discusses setting clear priorities, using performance data to make better decisions, navigating financial challenges, and developing the next generation of transit leaders.
