Taking A Deep Dive into SARTA's Special Projects

SARTA's Next Stop

Welcome to a glimpse into the world of transit projects with our esteemed guest, Clayton Popik Director of Development and Special Projects at SARTA. Navigating the labyrinth of capital projects can be daunting, but Clayton is here to demystify it all. We journey with him through the intricacies of the Massillon Transit Center expansion – a riveting narrative that includes the creation of a training pad, expanded parking, a walking path, lush landscaping, and an electric vehicle charging station. Clayton's insights into this project and the anticipation for its completion come January 2021 serve as a fascinating peek behind the curtain of construction and development.
But the conversation doesn’t stop at construction. Clayton, with his rich experience in procurement, unravels the complex world of value purchasing. From the subtle art of acquiring the right kind of furniture to exploring procurement methods like invitation for bid processes and request for proposals, his insights offer a comprehensive understanding of the nitty-gritty of transit operations. And that's not all. Our discourse extends to his role at Wayne County Transit, Title VI administration, and ADA evaluations, offering a holistic perspective on transit operations. Engage with us in this absorbing discussion, which promises to both educate and intrigue.
