After Adrienne Moretz moved from West Virginia to metro Atlanta, she was exposed to a wide variety of transportation options to move residents. After she moved back to West Virginia, those services stuck with her and she wanted to find ways to connect rural areas with metropolitan areas.
Moretz is the community relations manager for TransIT Services in Frederick County, Maryland. The role allows her duties such as writing grant applications, managing the bus advertising contract and employer outreach contract, managing the rideshare budget, to providing all creative marketing and advertising for the agency.

"I enjoy working to change behavior. Converting a single-occupancy vehicle driver to an alternate mode of transportation is not an easy task but finding creative and engaging solutions makes my job exciting, challenging and worthwhile."
"Hearing a rider say, 'Your system saved my life,' or 'I don’t know where I’d be without TransIT,' is an invaluable experience that you don’t find in many industries. Knowing that you are helping your community save money, time and the environment is a great feeling."
"When multiple modes work in harmony, the area thrives."
