Mr. Roberts has been a respected transportation leader around Metro Atlanta for many years. Mr. Roberts is very professional, he keeps the commitments that he makes, and respected by his peers. I also worked with Mr. Roberts while we served in the Georgia Transit Association's committees, and Mr. Roberts was very effective in developing GTA's mobility management strategy.
Mr. Roberts would be an asset to any team, and I would certainly recommend him for positions that need a seasoned transportation professional. ROBERT HIETTInterim Executive Director

I had the pleasure of working collaboratively with Ron in Cobb County coordinating human service transportation for DHS clients . Ron's enthusiasm and grasp of transit needs related to special needs clients, and transit access through travel training was very beneficial for DHS clients utilizing public transit for mobility options. Ron looks for innovative ways to improve transit services and is passionate in helping others and making a positive difference in the communities he serves.
