In Memoriam

Broussard, USSC Group
Jesse Broussard, 80, of Houston, a senior sales  consultant for USSC since 1995, died Jan. 25.
Broussard began his public transportation career in 1963 as one of the first African-American bus drivers hired by Houston’s Rapid Transit Line, predecessor to the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO), where he rose to become director of transportation. He became a consultant for USSC after retiring from METRO. |
Tonsing, Past RTD Board Chairman
Robert L. Tonsing Jr., 86, a former chairman of Denver’s Regional Transportation District (RTD) who oversaw the launch of the agency’s light rail system, died Jan. 24 in Littleton, CO. He became board chair in 1999, a year before RTD’s first light rail line entered service.
RTD General Manager and Chief Executive Officer Dave Genova called Tonsing “a tireless leader in the fight for more transit service and especially light rail. Through Bob’s vision and leadership, the Denver metro area is today a better place to live, work and play.”
