Mass Transit - 37
Jane Sullivan began her
work with the ChampaignUrbana Mass Transit
District (MTD) in 2012 as a
sustainability intern and was
first hired as a sustainability
and transportation planner
before working her way
up to her current role.
She created and leads a
committee of bus operators,
maintenance technicians and
staff members dedicated to
environmental sustainability.
Each month, they listen
to guest lecturers, visit
solar farms, tour recycling
centers and increase MTD's
environmental commitment.
MTD achieved Gold Level
Recognition from APTA's
Sustainability Commitment
in 2014 thanks in part
to Sullivan's efforts.
Sullivan was then promoted
to grant manager and
sustainability planner. In this
position, she prepared and
coordinated the successful
grant application for the
Multimodal Corridor
"My advice, no matter your role, is to ask
questions. I am a natural questioner and have
felt hesitant about that in the past, but I am
learning that it is actually a positive leadership
quality. Questions challenge our thinking and
help everyone grow, learn and stay engaged."
Enhancement Project. Once
the funds were awarded,
Sullivan continued to lead
MTD's coordination with
partner agencies, design
and engineering teams,
contractors and messaging to
employees and the public.
Sullivan's grant writing
awarded MTD a Low and No
Emission Grant from the FTA
in 2017, which funded the
introduction of hydrogen fuel
cell electric buses. Sullivan is
also leading the procurement
of a hydrogen fueling
station, facility modifications,
conduct research on vehicle
technology, participate
in the bus build design
and lead community
advocacy and awareness.
Sullivan also worked on the
nearly $300-million Yards
Joint Development Project.
What started as a need to
expand MTD's intermodal
transit center transformed
into a public-private
partnership that Sullivan
supports and coordinates.
