Former CDTA CEO Announced as Park Strategies Advisor Carm Basile Joins Park Strategies as Senior Advisor

Anyone who lives in a relatively urban area can tell you just how important public transportation is. Big city, small city, either one, public transportation is one of the key elements of traditional urban life. A few weeks ago, Carm Basile was revealed to be the new senior advisor for Park Strategies, a company that specializes in helping small businesses achieve their objectives. Basiles is looking to be a good fit for the job of Park Strategies, as Carm Basile has a lengthy history as the CEO of CDTA, a public-benefit company that directed and managed countless
public transportation related projects within the Capital District of New York State (You see their buses just about everywhere in the area!). Carm was a major part of the company for over four decades, leaping from regional bus operator to chief executive for fifteen years until late 2024. It is hard to deny the positive impact Basile had on
the company, overseeing the company even as it was named Best Mid-Sized Transit System in North America by the American Public Transit Association.

Basile’s extensive experience in the vast world of corporate directing and management granted to him by his time in CDTA will surely prove to be more than helpful for Park Strategies, whose entire company is about, well, business. According to Park Strategies’ official website, they assist a multitude of businesses with government relations, association management, and more, as well as offering insight and advice to smaller businesses via their business consulting services-all things that Carm Basile has no doubt dealt with a plethora of times in his past with CDTA. You don’t need to use much imagination to see how a public transport company like CDTA would have experience in those fields. Hopefully Basile’s expertise will prove to be as helpful for Park Strategies as most would expect.
