“It has been an honor to serve INIT in various roles first in Europe and then in North America over these past four decades,” said Staib. “I want to thank all the employees past and present, my colleagues around the world and most importantly our customers who continue to invest in the technology and services INIT brings to public transit. Our organization has a bright and busy future ahead and I pledge to continue in high gear until my last day in my current role and subsequently on the board.”

I appreciate his willingness to continue to serve as chair of the board and continue to support the further growth of INIT Inc.”
