Acumen Transit

We were honored to have Philip Adams Sr, a key leader and subject matter expert at Acumen Building Enterprise, Inc., as one of the guest speakers at the Black History Month Mixer hosted by the COMTO NORCAL Chapter. The event, held in the AC Transit Board meeting room and sponsored by AC Transit, brought together influential transit leaders including Rashidi Barnes, CEO of Tri-Delta Transit, and Joel Young of the AC Transit Board.

A special thank you to AC Transit GM Salvador Llamas for graciously opening the AC Transit Board room to COMTO, and to COMTO itself for organizing such a meaningful event that celebrates the invaluable contributions of Black professionals in transportation.
Phil’s insightful contributions, alongside an engaging panel moderated by Leslie Rogers, made for an inspiring and impactful discussion.
We are proud to support and celebrate this vibrant community and remain committed to advancing leadership, diversity, and innovation in the transit industry.

Here are some highlights from the event—featuring Phil, the AC Transit GM, COMTO members, and our passionate transit leaders in action.
