2010 San Diego Finalist (Adult): Marcela Escobar-Eck

Marcela is a tireless advocate for public transit, with a goal of bringing the topic into the spotlight as a regional priority. She spends countless hours building support for the transit movement by engaging people to think about the environmental benefits of mass transit and reduced pollution from private autos. These include reduced greenhouse gases, improved air quality, conservation of natural resources such as fossil fuels, and improved water quality. Marcela serves as chair of the board of directors for Move San Diego and spends her personal time educating policy makers, business leaders and friends about prioritizing healthy, sustainable forms of transportation in San Diego. Marcela will donate her prize to Move San Diego.
