Goldman also thanked Nancie Goff and the VVTA team for building a strong foundation of innovation and community partnership. “Public transit is vital to the region’s quality of life, and I look forward to working with our employees, board, and community partners to deliver safe, reliable, and forward-thinking mobility solutions for the High Desert.”
