LAUREN COCHRAN SCOVILLE HAS
been working in public transportation
for more than a decade and has had a
career centered on transit innovation
across roles at mass transit agencies,
strategic research firms and technology
manufacturing companies.
Cochran Scoville says her work with
diverse stakeholders at Foothill Transit
to deploy the world's first full-size, battery electric bus into commercial operation is one of her crowning achievements
thus far. Her leadership and stewardship
was key in the establishment of the battery-electric vehicle category in North
American mass transit.
She built on her experience with
mass transit and electric vehicles when
she returned to her home state of Texas
to work as a researcher with the Texas
Transportation Institute. She was part
of a team that partnered with the Texas
Department of Transportation to launch
the first automated and connected vehicle
proving ground transportation for public
transit, located at Texas A&M University.
Houston METRO recruited her in
2015 to serve as director where she was

responsible for the agency's contracted operations and then moved into the
director of innovation role where she
opened the Office of Innovation.
Innovation to improve accessibility in
transit is another passion of Cochran Scoville's. In 2015, she led research for USDOT
to identify new technologies to help people with disabilities navigate public transit
systems. At Houston METRO, she managed paratransit contractors and piloted
a bluetooth smart phone app that alerted
blind passengers about bus stop locations.
At Proterra, Cochran Scoville's passion for innovation has continued to
flourish. She is co-leading the company
strategy on automation applications for
customer EV fleets. The company explains that her strength is her customer
engagement, which she uses to help identify the best automation features based on
customer interest and needs.
"[I
enjoy] the sense of fulfillment that comes from working
towards total zero emission transit, a goal so much bigger than
my career and critical to the future of the planet that I love."
