This article is one featured in a special edition of Digital Community Transportation (DigitalCT) with a focus on innovative transit leadership. This edition is inspired by the risk-taking and innovation inherent among the leaders profiled in this issue, and the key elements of leadership have been organized into six distinct content areas; this article focuses on the ways in which the most successful transit leaders handle technology - how they determine their system's technology needs before rushing to acquire new software and gadgets and then go on to utilize them in a way that serves the needs of their community above those of their information technology (IT) departments. Some of the interviews presented here are in podcast format with the transcripts provided.
