"Our budget is as tight as a drum"-Neil Macfarlane

But we here at Trimet can afford to send him around the country to speak about his wonderful rail inventions.(notice how they mention his non existent bus system improvements, what baloney)

Neil McFarlane is General Manager of Portland TriMet. Before that, he served for 12 years as TriMet’s Executive Director for Capital Projects, advancing the expansion of the region’s rail system and overseeing extensive capital investments for bus systems. McFarlane helped establish TriMet’s MAX light rail transit as an internationally known and respected system for planning, design, and construction innovation, delivering three light rail lines on-time and on-budget.

I think there's a good possibility that TriMet is not paying for the trip. After all, it doesn't benefit them.
