I had an e-mail from a reader who’s having trouble following all the acronyms we drop into our conversations.
He has to Google some of the terms we use.
I’m afraid I’m probably as bad as anyone else.
So if you’re talking about TPAC, a CAC or some ROW, try to spell it out the first time you use it.

It’s kinda funny becuase we’re not using a “single industry’s” three letter acronyms. We’re using “Government” acronyms along with “Transportation Technology” acronyms. It’s like 2x the acronym soup.
Speaking of that, you should start a FAQ!!! :D Or maybe I will and you can link to it eh? Let me know what ya think of that idea.
I would be happy to set it up so you can maintain a FAQ on Portland Transport!
Thank you very much! This way, more people can know what is going on.
It’d be cool if there could be some sort of automatic linking (like how the NY Times creates links out of certain words for ad revenue) of keywords to a pop-up definition. Anyone up to that task?
You can do this site-wide with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
