Riley joined Sun Tran as director of human resources in 1981 and was promoted to assistant general manager in 2007. She succeeds Katrina Heineking, who is now general manager for a Veolia-managed property in Austin, TX.

“A Sun Tran employee and Tucson resident for over 30 years, Kate’s experience and passion for public transportation make her an excellent choice to continue the work of expanding the Tucson area’s regional transportation system,” said Tom Hock, PTM/Veolia vice president.

Jeff Rock, a Sun Tran employee since 2000 and most recently director of maintenance, has been promoted to interim assistant general manager for Sun Tran.
