Remarkable Women: Tram Nguyen helps Vietnamese community after historic flooding
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — You wouldn't know it now, but in June 2024, the Riverside area of Sioux City was completely underwater from the flooding of the Big Sioux River. 'I sat there two blocks away with a couple of them,' Sioux City resident Tram Nguyen said. 'We just looked at the water. We couldn't get in here. We didn't know what to do. I didn't know how to help them. We just looked at the water and started crying.' See the Remarkable Women finalists here The Riverside neighborhood in Sioux City is home to a large Vietnamese community that needed help with the aftermath of the June 2024 flooding. That meant everything from cleaning up to help with translation when navigating the recovery process. That's when Tram Nguyen stepped up. 'This is like a little unknown village of a large Vietnamese community,' Sioux City resident Jolene Vasquez said. 'And she was, without hesitation, translating for them. She was boots on the ground with all the flood cleanup efforts, and she is, just overall, just a wonderful woman.' 'It doesn't matter what it takes, I wanted to stay there with them and support them,' Tram said. 'Make them strong because I just do what needs to be [done]. But at the same time, I didn't know if we were helping or getting any better, but I just did what it takes.' Tram wasn't able to get into the neighborhood until two days after the flood on June 25, 2024, but from that day until September, she was there almost every day, sometimes from sunrise to sundown. 'On the weekends, I would be here from six [in the morning] until nine [at night when] it gets dark,' she said. 'When I work, then I would stop by either before work or after work.' She did things like ripping sheet rock, cleaning mud and translating for the Vietnamese citizens that couldn't speak English. 'People try to help,' Tram said. 'It takes a lot of process of paperwork and the language barrier was worlds apart, so… if they didn't get help with paperwork then they would never be able to get help for financial to fix the house.' Woodbury County officials remind residents to check for snow buildup in outdoor vents Helping people comes naturally for Tram. She has worked for Siouxland Community Health as a community health worker for 17 years and helps translate for the people that need the help. 'It's very important,' she said. 'I feel always wanted and helping people with the language barrier. You feel like you are always there for them. That is the most important.' Tram lives on the north side of Sioux City and has no relations to those that live in Riverside, but since the flood and the time she spend there helping people, the neighborhood has become very special to her. 'I have no relations in this area, but after the flood happened, they became the family,' Tram said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Dubai Metro, Tram to monitor violations, inspection oversight through live screens
A new integrated system will help improve Metro and Tram passenger experience by digitising and optimising inspection operations, Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority said on Wednesday. The authority said that unauthorised use of the Gold Class cabin by Silver nol cardholders and the misuse of designated spaces for women. It also optimises the deployment of fare inspectors, identifying high-priority areas that require increased monitoring to detect and curb violations effectively. The system enables real-time monitoring of inspectors' performance and ticket inspection activities, with the capability to issue live updates and generate analytical reports on operational outcomes. During major events, inspection teams are deployed at high-footfall stations based on multi-source data analysis, which helps predict areas more prone to violations, ensuring a faster and more effective response. Additionally, the system records passenger data to identify repeat offenders and educate them on the importance of adhering to regulations. It has resulted in a 14 per cent monthly increase in inspection rates and improved violation detection, ultimately enhancing passenger compliance with Dubai Metro and Tram regulations. The system includes a specialised centre dedicated to strengthening inspection oversight and violation monitoring at Dubai Metro and Tram, ensuring optimal resource utilisation and real-time tracking of operational activities. Equipped with live monitoring screens, it enables instant oversight of ticket inspectors, ensuring swift responses to violations, particularly those affecting passenger safety and comfort.

Dubai studying 'railbus' system in effort to improve public transport
Dubai's next public transport upgrade might not need to choose between tracks or roads — it'll do both. The city is studying a Railbus system, a hybrid mode of transport that blends the speed of rail with the flexibility of road travel. Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe, these 'dual-mode' vehicles can switch between dedicated tracks and normal highways, offering a cost-effective alternative to metro expansion. For city planners, it's a faster and cheaper solution. For commuters, it's another way to dodge traffic jams. The Railbus will connect with the Dubai Metro and Tram, but passengers will have to wait to hop on — a launch date hasn't been set. Feasibility studies alone could take up to two years.
