Santa Cruz METRO Breaks Ground for Operations Facility

Representatives of the Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit District (Santa Cruz METRO), joined by Rep. Sam Farr (D-CA) and other dignitaries, recently broke ground in Santa Cruz, CA, for the agency’s new operations facility. Also on hand were family members of the late Judy K. Souza, in whose memory the new building will be named.

The ceremony marked the final phase of METRO’s MetroBase consolidation of operations and construction of a new, state-of the-art facility to replace a 30-year-old structure that was built to last five years. The agency expects the project to create more than 300 construction jobs over the next two years.

Souza, who died in 2011, began her 32-year career with METRO as its first female bus driver and supervisor. Ultimately she served the agency as its first female superintendent of operations.
