Lisa J. Collins

Lisa J. Collins is a Service Development Planner for the Delaware Transit Corporation DTC). Her career in transportation started in 1984 while serving in the United States Marine Corps as a Motor Transport Operator, later cross training into Maintenance Management. She has held positions of increasing responsibility in various departments throughout her career with DTC including, maintenance, finance, customer relations and scheduling, giving her a multifaceted experience base.

Currently, she is challenged to plan services for two counties and three completely different service types in the state of Delaware. One ten route system in a small metropolitan city, one very rural 3 route system in the western half of the county and a Beach Resort system of 8 routes on the eastern coast of the county. Her duties include system design, analyzing existing services, reviewing highway and subdivision plans, assisting with the annual service plan, ridership projection and research, meeting with community stakeholders and project management. The spectrum of her territory really diversifies her experience.

Lisa is married with two children and she believes the best way overcome the challenges we face is to learn from each others successes and failures.
