About Bernie Wagenblast

My career has combined two of my primary professional interests; transportation and communications. I had my start as an on-air New York City traffic reporter for Shadow Traffic when they opened their NYC operations. This included doing reports on stations such as WABC, WINS and WBAB. I then spent over a decade in the public sector, including being operations manager for TRANSCOM, a coalition of transportation agencies in the NY, NJ, CT area. In these positions I\'ve had extensive media relations experience which included interviews with Good Morning America, The New York Times, The Washington Post, AP, and Bloomberg. I\'m currently the editor of the Transportation Communications Newsletter, the AASHTO Daily Transportation Update, and the ITS Michigan, UITP and ITS Canada newsletters. I\'m also the host of the ITE Talks Transportation and AASHTO\'s ETAP podcasts. I serve as the voice of the NYC subway\'s \"Next Train\" announcements, AirTrain Newark and PATCO. You\'ll also catch my voice on a variety of videos, commercials and phone systems. You can hear samples by clicking this link: Specialties: Transportation communications, transportation voiceovers.
