Board of Directors

Anna Fontus was appointed to the Paratransit Board of Directors in the summer of 2017. Over the past few years, she has become involved with several local young professional groups who engage in issues and initiatives supporting Sacramento’s ongoing progress. Her leadership in engaging and activating these networks has brought her across the nation to advocate for the region to members of Congress and national chamber associations. Since the completion of her international politics studies in 2013, Anna has focused her professional career in state and federal policy development and analysis to advance educational equity. Through robust stakeholder engagement and coalition building, she has been able to coalesce leaders from community organizations, corporations, institutions of higher education, and state agencies to provide improved educational opportunities within the K-12 education system.

Mr. Leventon has served on Paratransit’s Board since 1992.

Using his educational training in social sciences, he has advocated for improved services to the disabled through his membership on the Sacramento County Committee for People with Disabilities (including its housing subcommittee) and through his seven years of casework at Resources for Independent Living.

Mr. Leventon has held several offices on the Paratransit Board. In this capacity he has developed policy to diversify Paratransit’s resource base. He currently works for the Department of Human Services.

Patrick was first elected to the Elk Grove City Council in 2006, after serving as a planning commissioner since the city’s incorporation in 2000. In 2007 he was named as the Elk Grove representative to the Sacramento Regional Transit Board of Directors. That body named him as one of the representatives to Paratransit, Inc. in 2012. From the first orientation, the quality and experience of this organization is impressive.

He is the vice president of the Elk Grove regional Scholarship Foundation, a past president of the Rotary Club of Elk Grove and has served as auctioneer for many local charities and causes. Professionally, he is controller for the family homebuilding firm founded by his grandfather in 1964.
