The Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame inducted Sandy Draggoo, chief executive officer/executive director of the Capital Area Transportation Authority (CATA) in Lansing, MI, since 1985, as a member in ceremonies Oct. 19 in East Lansing. She was one of a class of 10 Michigan women who received the honor for being first, founders, or experts in their fields.

Draggoo joined CATA in 1974 as the executive secretary serving the executive director and rose through the ranks to the top position. She is active in APTA, serving on the Bus and Paratransit CEOs Committee, Small Operations Committee, and Legislative Committee, and is a former APTA vice chair-marketing and communications.

Since its establishment by the Michigan Women’s Studies Association in 1983, the Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame has recognized more than 250 high-achieving women from the state.
