“Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the lifetime of service and the exceptional work of Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County CEO Tom Lambert. Tom is a true public servant who has made a difference for all of us in Houston. For more than four decades, Tom has worked at METRO. Focusing these four decades on the safety of METRO riders, his improvements to the system will benefit them for years to come. His ability to listen to riders led to streamlined services with improved schedules. His leadership led to the completion of an additional 15 miles of light rail in 2015, and his commitment to moving Houstonians in new ways helped pave the way, literally and figuratively, for bus rapid transit. Tom has demonstrated his dedication to keeping our community informed, engaged, and moving forward. Tom exemplifies the very best of Houston: innovation, collaboration, vision, and leadership. I send sincere thanks to Tom for his work and for his commitment to our community and congratulate him on his retirement. ____________________”
