In the 1980’s, she served as the Executive Director of the first Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) for Alachua County. In the 1990’s, she administered coordinated transportation for the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 2 as the liaison to their CTCs. In the 2000’s, she served as the Executive Director of the Florida Association of Coordinated Transportation Systems (FACTS).
