COMMENTS FROM COLLEAGUES

"Dave Rizzo is a bright, organized, and energetic person who truly cares about people and has worked tirelessly to improve the conditions of those around him. With his extensive experience working with local government on tough traffic issues, I believe Dave Rizzo has what it takes to tackle the tough issues of the 44th Congressional District."
-- Jeff Elliott, businessman, owner Power PR, Torrance, CA

"Dave, you have my full support and my highest respect for your talent, versatility, and easy way with people. You were a great Account Manager, and I still miss working with you on projects. Whether it's snarled traffic or other long standing problems, I know you can and will get the job done." -- Del Williams, former co-worker and current Southern California commuter

"Dave, congrat's on running for public office! I know that you would make a wonderful public servant." --
Sharon Beckett, principal in a nation-wide consulting firm

PRESS "CLIPPINGS"

Rizzo, a podiatrist at the California Rehabilitation Center in Norco and the California Institute for Women near Chino, may be a foot doctor by trade, but his passion is traffic and how commuters get from point A to point B.
-- Corona/Norco Independent, November 8, 2002
-- The Press-Enterprise, November 20, 2002

Only in Southern California, where 6.6 million commuters hit the freeways every day and people drive more than they walk, would a successful podiatrist give up his practice to dedicate his life to traffic congestion.
-- Orange Coast (magazine), January 1995

KABC's 'Dr. Roadmap' helps listeners steer clear of tie-ups
-- The Orange County Register, January 24, 1992

The key to Rizzo's reports is his knowledge that goes off the map.
-- Los Angeles Times, June 28, 1996

As the author of the book, Freeway Alternates, he has established himself as an authority on Southland shortcuts.
-- Inland Empire (magazine), July 1991

He won't put commuters on small side streets, either. If there is a standstill in Riverside, drivers might be directed to busy Magnolia Avenue rather than quiet Victoria Avenue, out of respect for the neighbors.
-- The Press-Enterprise, February 28, 1992

This is why drivers should also carry a detailed map: In case they need an alternate to their alternate route, said Rizzo, who has studied and teaches traffic flow patterns at Cal State Fullerton.
-- Los Angeles Times/Orange County Edition, January 18, 1994

The "doctor" is in--in more ways than one!
-- (Corona) Independent, December 11, 1991

He probably knows more about getting out of the Interstate Parking Lot than anybody else in the Inland Empire.
-- The Sun (San Bernardino County), June 9, 1991

Dr. Roadmap knows the way
-- Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, July 20, 1996

Dr. David Rizzo, alias Dr. Roadmap, put his knowledge of Southern California's highways and byways to good use writing a book to help residents avoid the worst traffic woes.
-- The Daily Pilot (Costa Mesa, Newport Beach), May 5, 1991

According to Dr. David Rizzo, better known as Dr. Roadmap, motor vehicle emissions can account for up to 70% of the smog in our air.
-- The Black Voice News ("The Inland Empire News in Black and White"), May 7, 1992

Former local doctor has cure for commuters...he is a certified employee transportation coordinator...
-- Fontana Herald News, September 10, 1992

'Dr. Road Map' heals commuter blues
-- The Press-Enterprise, October 26, 1988
