Farewell to Joe Costanzo
On July 30, MVPC and regional leaders bade a fond farewell to Joe Costanzo as he retired from the MVRTA after a distinguished 40 years of service to the region. Mr. Costanzo had been with the MVRTA since its inception, building it from the ground up to where it is today — providing upward of 2 million rides per year at its height.
Prior to joining the MVRTA, Mr. Costanzo worked as a transportation planner at MVPC where his accomplishments included helping to create the MVRTA. Mr. Costanzo has been a solid partner and always dedicated to the Merrimack Valley region communities. We thank him not only for his contribution to transportation but also for his part in helping so many people.
