West VA Turnpike Authority Officials Praise Retiring Chief Executive
MetroNews reports, state Parkways Authority board members and officials yesterday commended Greg Barr, who will retire in September, a year later than he’d hoped, for his long service and his dedication. Barr joined the agency in 1989 and became its executive director in 2002. He will remain on board for about six weeks to support a leadership transition. His replacement, Jeff Miller, reports to work on Monday.

Bloomberg CityLab takes a skeptical look at the state of the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) industry.

Mexico News Daily reports, students and teachers have taken over toll booths on the Cuernavaca-Acapulco highway 80 times this year as part of a protest against the 2014 kidnapping and disappearance of 43 students from a state teacher training college in Guerrero.
