In this week’s interview, I spoke with Tony Santana. Tony is the Project Manager for Valley Metro’s Northwest Extension Phase II light rail transit project. He’s someone who grew up in the inner city, went to ASU, saw first-hand how transportation can change communities, and decided to embark on a career of giving back. Tony is an inspirational emerging leader who gives me hope for the future as I listened to his passion and commitment to serve. He encourages young people in our industry to find their “why” and seek a career that they feel inspired by while not being afraid to fail. He is also committed to the advancement of women in the industry as he looks to his daughter’s future and the opportunities he hopes will be available to her.
