Giving Back

Scholarship recipient David Ledwitz shares his success story after receiving the award more than a decade ago:

David Ledwitz

David Ledwitz at Valley Transportation Authority San Jose, California

I currently work at a Management Analyst for Accessible Services at VTA. I have been at VTA since 1997. My job involves providing technical support for the analysis and administration of VTA's ADA paratransit program and fixed route operations. I administer the paratransit no-show appeal program and have developed an accessible document training program that has been presented to over 50 VTA administrative employees.

In 2000, I presented a $250 donation in front of those attending the APTA General Meeting at the San Francisco Annual Conference to express my appreciation for APTA's APTF recognition in 1993. I look back at the award and recognition with extreme respect and thankfulness; knowing that I may not be as fortunate as I am today had it not been for APTA's APTF award 13 years ago and the support of RCTC and VTA.

Thank you again for this opportunity to provide my information about my APTF award experience.

Sincerely,
David Ledwitz
