Tracy Ellis, the Rideshare Specialist with Point2point, was awarded the Transportation Options Group of Oregon Professional of the Year Award at the recent Oregon Transportation Conference, held in October.
This award recognizes people in the field who demonstrate excellence in the promotion and participation of transportation options programs.

Ellis has been working in the field of transportation options locally and statewide since joining LTD in 2006.
Cody Franz, Transportation Options Specialist, was selected by the Association of Commuter Transportation (ACT) as one of the 40 Under 40 Awards winners. Franz was recognized for his work in developing programs that shift behavior and create long-lasting change in the community and within local organizations. Franz who received the award in November, was honored for his role in leading the Business Commute Challenge for LTD and the SmartTrips program.
