Hello, 21st Century! DOT Speaks to Bloggers Exclusively (Including Me)

Filed under: News — Rick Seaney @ 1:06 pm

Transportation Secretary Mary Peters held a news conference today (and I’ve got all the highlights here), but this one was a little different.

It was just for bloggers. No other media was present. Just nine air travel bloggers — including yours truly.

As Peters herself said, “if I am going to call for twenty-first century solutions for our transportation system, I better communicate them in a twenty-first century way.”

I think that’s just terrific, and I was honored to be a part of the grand experiment. Look for more posts on my interviews with other leading transportation officials — coming soon.
