Ecolane Appoints APTA Subcommittee Chairperson

The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) Access Committee’s recently formed Accessible Information Technology Subcommittee was established primarily to serve as a resource in the area of Information Communication Technology (ICT).  However, the Subcommittee has not had a chairperson until now.

We are pleased to announce, Ecolane’s own Priscilla Vargas, Business Development Director, has recently been appointed to Chairperson of APTA’s Access Committee’s Accessible Information Technology Subcommittee.

She possesses not only a combination of experience from agency program operations and supervisory positions, familiarity with scheduling software and mobility technologies, but her passion to promote “mobility for all” during her 28-year career makes her uniquely qualified for this critical position.

ICT is rapidly evolving, so the need to identify and publish Best Practices to educate and inform agencies and their customers alike is tremendously vital. Priscilla will soon be reaching out to recruit Access Committee members and others to join APTA’s Accessible Information Technology Subcommittee.

Please join the Ecolane team in congratulating Priscilla and expressing our pride in her achievement. If you’re interested in joining the Accessible Information Technology Subcommittee or want to share your thoughts, please contact her at priscilla.vargas@ecolane.com.
