- Champion of Communication, Collaboration, and Cooperation
- Your Transit Voice
- "Because Transit Experience and Positive Results Count"
Providing public transportation that is safe, clean, reliable, courteous, accessible and cost-effective throughout the Denver metro region.
The RTD in Denver is one of only three elected transit Boards in the United States. It is a creature of the Colorado General Assembly that is charged with operating, developing and maintaining commuter rail, light rail, regional bus, local bus, and paratransit services throughout a 2,400 square mile region with over 3.2 million residents. The Directors answer to voters every four years, ensuring accountability and responsiveness.
My Father. Chuck Tisdale was the most patient, understanding and loving person that I ever knew. He endured countless personal hardships, especially losing his mother, his father and his older son within the span of three years. Despite all that, he was kind and gracious. It was said of him that he never met a stranger. And on the backside of his desk nameplate he had engraved the words, "This Too Will Pass." I pray that I can be just half as good a person as he. If so, I'll be a very good man.
Integrity. Transparency. Accountability. Responsiveness. The ability to listen closely.
He listened. He acted. He accomplished.
Ensuring regional and social equity in services. Confirming that we continue to communicate, collaborate, and cooperate with all of our constituents, stakeholders, and partners.
Responding directly to service complaints lodged by constituents.
I believe that it is critical to have prior governmental experience in order to guarantee that there is an understanding of how governmental bodies function and become an effective contributor on the first day.
A legal background is extremely beneficial, along with business and finance experience.
