Ecolane has hired Priscilla Vargas as the company’s business development director for the Pacific Northwest and Midwest regions.
Vargas will conduct business from a satellite office located in Des Moines, Washington, a suburb of Seattle, and will concentrate her efforts on increasing Ecolane’s sales of its product line throughout the Northwest U.S. region.
She brings a wealth of paratransit and ADA knowledge to Ecolane with more than 26 years of experience in managing paratransit operations while ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations governing the ADA.
“I am excited to join the Ecolane business development team,” Vargas said. “I was intrigued by Ecolane’s ground-breaking reservations, scheduling and dispatching solution and to be able to offer technologically advanced products to transit systems is a tremendous opportunity.”
Prior to joining Ecolane, Vargas served as the paratransit/rideshare operations manager for King County Metro Transit in Seattle. She also serves as a member of the American Public Transit Association, the Washington State Transit Association, and is a former member of the Board of Directors for the California Association for Coordinated Transportation.
"We are thrilled and fortunate to have Priscilla join the Ecolane team, bringing with her over 25 years of extensive management and paratransit operations experience,” said Ryan Larsen, senior vice president of Ecolane. “We will continue to seek out industry experts to join our team to complement our software’s ability to drive productivity and system efficiencies.”
