Latinos In Transit Joins APTA Diversity and Inclusion Council

On May 19, 2019 the APTA Diversity and Inclusion Council held a meeting at the APTA Mobility Conference in Louisville, Ky. Chaired by Nathaniel Ford, Sr., Council Chair, a motion was made to add a seat to the Diversity and Inclusion Council Steering Committee for Latinos In Transit. The motion was unanimously passed by the committee members. Alva Carrasco, Vice President of the Board of Latinos In Transit, thanked the committee members and pledged commitment on behalf of the Board of Directors. “LIT’s recently signed cooperative agreement with APTA has reinvigorated our board’s commitment to serving our members, partner transit agencies and sponsors.  We are looking forward to participating on the committee,” said Alva Carrasco.
