Prior to joining HNTB, Horne served as a transportation regional business manager for another consulting firm.
Horne is actively involved in a variety of industry associations, including the American Public Transportation Association where she serves as the co-chair of the Environmental Subcommittee for the Planning, Policy, and Program Development Committee and on the Leadership APTA Committee. Horne also is an active member of Women’s Transportation Seminar, and is currently actively involved in roles with the Metropolitan Phoenix and Heart of Texas chapters.
The region’s fixed-route system finished out the year with a total of 373.5 million rides. Adding 12.3 million rides over 2024 represents an increase that is equal to the annual transit ridership of Kansas City.
The service is a flexible, reservation-based transit service designed to close the first- and last-mile gaps and connect riders to employment for just $5 per day.
The upgraded system, which went live earlier this month, supports METRO’s METRONow vision to enhance the customer experience, improve service reliability, and strengthen long-term regional mobility.
The agreement provides competitive wages and reflects strong labor-management collaboration, positive working relationships, and a shared commitment to building a world-class transit system for the community, said RTA CEO Lona Edwards Hankins.
The priorities are outlined in the 2026 Board and CEO Initiatives and Action Plan, which serves as a roadmap to guide the agency’s work throughout the year and ensure continued progress and accountability on voter-approved transportation investments and essential mobility services.
