Eliza Garcia

Bio: Born and raised in Tucson on the southwest side of town, Eliza works for La Frontera, the biggest behavioral health agency in town. La Frontera also provides housing that is located throughout the subarea, including central downtown Tucson, near Rodeo Park and Tucson Mall area. Eliza works closely with the homeless and low-income population in Tucson, providing them with services to reach their needs. These populations have transportation barriers and depend strictly on the public transportation system. Eliza wants to be able to connect her clients with another community resource that will help them be successful and reach their needs and goals. Eliza believes that “all individuals, regardless of their background, should have access to safe, dependable transportation to get them from point A to point B.” According to Eliza, “a thriving community is when all individuals and businesses are working together to help each other succeed, stay safe and be happy.”
