SOLEDAD — Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST) team recently recognized Soledad Mayor Anna Velazquez for her outstanding service on the MST Board of Directors from 2017 to 2024.
Through her leadership, MST implemented the Better Bus Network, resulting in lower fares, faster travel times, increased passenger boarding and new fixed routes in the communities of Gonzales, Soledad and King City. She also supported the adoption of a free-fare zone within the community of Pajaro to assist recovery efforts from historic flooding, and much more.
“Anna led the MST Board of Directors wholeheartedly, caring profoundly and standing strong for our community,” stated MST on social media Feb. 12. “We appreciate your service and look forward to having Mayor Pro-Tem Fernando Cabrera represent Soledad’s community in the future.”
Velazquez was honored by MST General Manager/CEO Carl Sedoryk, MST Chair and Sand City Mayor Mary Ann Carbone and MST Vice Chair and Gonzales Councilmember Lorraine Worthy.
