## Resource

In this episode of Stop Requested, Levi McCollum and Christian Londono talk with Bobby Sisneros, Deputy Director at ABQ RIDE, in the second of a four part series on transit in Albuquerque. Bobby oversees planning, IT, marketing, safety and security, and communications, bringing a cross departmental perspective to how transit systems operate day to day. The conversation explores how ABQ RIDE is rethinking safety, from applying the broken window theory to improve system conditions to building a transit safety officer program centered on compassion and de escalation. Bobby also shares how his experience across city departments shaped a more holistic approach to transit, focused not just on moving people, but supporting the broader community. The episode also covers operator retention, leadership visibility, and the importance of listening to both riders and frontline staff to improve service in a changing post COVID environment.
