Lochner Sponsors and Attends 2024 COMTO National Conference

Lochner proudly sponsored and attended the 2024 COMTO National Conference, themed ‘Transportation Equity: Meeting the Moment,’ held last week in Houston, Texas.

 

Each year, COMTO hosts its National Meeting & Training Conference, the foremost gathering for transportation professionals nationwide. Lochner’s Taiwo Jaiyeoba, BRT & Transit Planning Director, Min Zhou, California Regional Manager, and Ruby Bueno-Garcia, Project Manager, engaged in four days of learning, training, and networking with leaders across all transportation sectors.

 

Unfortunately, Lochner’s Board Director and Transit & Rail Principal, Jonnie Thomas, PE, who serves on the COMTO Colorado Chapter Board of Directors, and West Coast Regional Manager, Marvin Thomas, who serves on the COMTO Washington Chapter Board of Directors, were unable to attend due to Hurricane Beryl. We extend our best wishes to those affected by the hurricane.

As a proud national partner of COMTO, Lochner wholeheartedly supports their mission to ensure opportunities and maximum participation in the transportation industry for minority individuals, veterans, people with disabilities, and certified MWDBE businesses. This commitment is upheld through leadership training, professional development, scholarship and internship funding, political advocacy, partnership building, and networking opportunities.
