>>> IT IS A LOCAL SHOW, MAYBE
YOU'VE SEEN IT HERE ON COMPANYEL
4, MAKING MOONS AIRS ONCE A
MONTH RIGHT AFTER OUR NEWS AT
NOON.
IT IS A PRODUCTION FROM THE
JACKSONVILLE TRANSPORTATION
AUTHORITY BRINGING YOU UPDATES
ON LOCAL TRANSPORTATION NEWS.
WELL, THAT SHOW IS CELEBRATING
I 100th EPISODE.
VIC IS OUT FRONT RIGHT NOW
TALKING TO THE FOLKS THAT MAKE
ITS ALL HAPPEN.
VIC?
>>> YEAH, 1 EPISODES, HOW
ABOUT.
THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY INSIDE OF
JTA BUS.
AND I THANKFUL FOR THAT RIGHT
NOW BECAUSE THUNDERSTORMS AND
THE SHOWERS ARE COMING THROUGH
OUR AREA.
SO LET ME INTRODUCE TO YOU, BILL
MILNEES AND DONNA TEAGUAN,
CONGRATULATION ON THE MILESTONE,
WE'RE COMING COMING INTO ANOTHER
SEASON, FELL ME WHAT YOU HAVE
PLAN.
>>> THE EXCITING THING ABOUT
THIS 100 EPISODE WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT THIS MONTH IS, I MEAN, I
THINK WHAT PEOPLE MAY NOT
REALIZE, OBVIOUSLY WE TELL YOU
ABOUT THE CUTTING ECTHINGS
HAPPENING WITH THE JTA, BUT WHAT
IS REALLY GREAT TO ME ABOUT THE
SHOW IS A LOT OF GREAT
STORYTELLING ABOUT PEOPLE.
AND 1 OF THE REALLY COOL THINGS
WE REVISITED WERE SOME OF THE
REALLY TOP STORIES OF THE FIRST
100 EPISODES LIKE THE ORIGINAL
EIGHT AFRICAN-AMERICAN DRIVERS
THAT WORKED FOR JTA IN THE
'60s THAT WERE BROUGHT IN IN
SECRET AND THEIR EXPERIENCES AND
REALLY HOW THEY TRANSFORMED THE
AGENCY.
IT IS -- THEY'RE REALLY
WONDERFUL AND HEART-TOUCHING
STORIES.
AND I THINK THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE
WILL ENJOY ABOUT THIS EPISODE.
>>> BILL, A LOT OF LEGACY, A LOT
OF HISTORY WITH THE JTA AND NOW
SEEING THEM MOVE INTO YET
ANOTHERRARY.
>>> TRUE ENOUGH AND BEING IN
THIS BUS KIND OF SAYS A LOT.
I MEAN THE FIRST COAST FLIER BUS
IS A CNG BUS, COMPRESSED NATURAL
GAS.
THAT IS REALLY THE WAVE OF THE
FUTURE THAT JTA LAUNCHED IN 20
FIFE AND IN ANOTHER NEW LINE
COPPING ON IN DECEMBER, THE BLUE
LINE SO JUST FROM A TECHNOLOGY
STANDPOINT, IT IS GREAT TO SEE
KIND OF WHERE WE'VE BEEN AND
WHERE WE'RE GOING.
>>> THIS IS A COMFORTABLE BUS.
I'M GOOD IN HERE, AC IS GOOD,
I'M A PRETTY ALL THE GUY AND
I'MT PRETTY THANKFUL FOR, UNLIKE
THE OLE SCHOOL BUS I WHICH HAD
TO ODELETE S DEAN FIT SOMEONE OF
THE STORIES IS ANT JTA EMPLOYEES
THAT WERE ABLE TO SAVE SOMEONE'S
LIFE.
>> ACTUALLY THERE HAVE BEEN A
NUMBER OF JTA EMPLOYEES THAT
HAVE DONE THAT.
THOSE ARE THE STORIES THAT
PEOPLE REALLY REMEMBER.
THESE DRIVERS ARE INVESTED.
AND THEY REALLY, THEY'RE A
NUMBER OF STORIES WERE YOU HAVE
PEOPLE IN LIFE-THREATENING
SITUATIONS WERE SOMETIMES.
>> TA WORKERS RISKED THEIR OWN
LIVES IN ODER TO SAVE THE LIVES
OF OTHER PEOPLE.
AND I THINK, I REALLY LOVE THE
OPPORTUNITY AND TELL THE STORIES
AND MORE NOW THAN EVER.
>>> ORGANIZATION COME OUT IN THE
PAST YEAR, I REALLY THINK WHAT
YOU'RE SEEING IS A TRANSFORMED
JTA THAT IS GOING THE MEAN A LOT
TO MOST OF JACKSONVILLE AS THIS
CITY CONTINUES TO GROW AND
PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO LOOK TO
PUBLIC TRANSIT.
>>> NOT JUST FOR PEOPLE WHO
DON'T HAVE VEHICLES.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE CARS OR TRUCKS
AND KEEP THEM AT HOME BECAUSE IT
IS A MORE ECOFRIENDLY WAY TO GO,
MORE EFFICIENT WAY TO GO AND
CERTAINLY MORE COST-EFFECTIVE.
>>> NO DOUBT.
AND ONE OF THE STORIES WE DID
RECENTLY WAS WITH A GUY THAT
CALLED HIMSELF PAPA DON, LIVED
IN ARLINGTON, CAR BROKE DOWN,
TRIED THE BUS.
GOT THE CAR FIXED, STILL RIDES
THE BUS.
THAT IS JUST THE WAY IT IS.
YOU FIND A WAY TO MAKE IT WORK.
AND IT IS COST EFFECTIVE AND YOU
CAN KIND OF GO ANYWHERE IN THE
CITY.
AND THAT IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE.
THERE IS A LOT OF CHOICE RIDERS
OUT THERE, AND FOR JTA, THAT IS
A BIG DEAL.
WE WANT TO SEE MORE AND MOR
PEOPLE RIDE.
IT IS ALL ABO RIDDERSHIP AND
PROVIDING OPTIONS.
>> Vic: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
COMING ON, DONNA AND BILL,
"MAKING MOVES" AIRS AFTER OUR
NOON NEWSCAST TODAY.
12:30 TODAY, YOU'RE GOING TO
CATCH THEIR BRAND-NEW SEASON AND
