In addition to his everyday work and community service, BeGasse has served on the board of directors in various transportation associations across the country.
“TAG is such a unique and desperately needed resource," BeGasse said. "I was attracted by the company’s mission and am excited to use my experience by helping transportation professionals in both school districts and private companies.”
Charlie Bruce, founder and president of TAG, said that the firm has been focused on working with school transportation operations in the Northeast, but BeGasse will help expand TAG’s footprint into other areas of the country.
