The new President and CEO of Bi-State Development, Taulby Roach is a frequent MetroLink rider.

Today was his first official commute to Bi-State Development headquarters in downtown St. Louis. His normal commute consists of catching a Blue Line MetroLink train at the Skinker MetroLink Station near his home and riding it to the 8th & Pine MetroLink Station. From there, it’s a short walk to work.

“That ride is a ride I normally take every single day and I take it for a reason. I enjoy riding the train in the morning and being part of that transit community – a diverse community of all different people,” he said.

Taulby, a long-time transit supporter, appreciates an on-time, comfortable way to get to work. It’s one of the many benefits he enjoys.

“You’re going to see me on the system. I believe in the system and I ride it,” he said. “I invite everybody to join me.”
