I never got a chance to meet Rick, but I'm appreciative of his accomplishments. When he arrived, he had the unpleasant task of telling the community that service had to begin in 2008 rather than 2006, but once he announced his revised schedule, the project stuck to it, and we were riding the trains at the end of '08. There's no doubt the Phoenix Metropolitan Area has been immeasurably improved with the restoration of rail transit, and its success owes a great deal to his efforts. Great video.
