Samantha Doheny, Assistant Director, has been with Connecticut Transportation Solutions, LLC (CTS) for over 13 years, and has served as the Assistant Director for the past 4 years.

In her current role, Samantha oversees much of the day-to-day operations related to student transportation, acting as a liaison between drivers, aides, school boards of education, schools, and parents. She is responsible for managing transportation contracts through the completion of requests for proposals (RFPs), assisting the General Manager with various tasks, and handling billing and cost management.

What excites Samantha most about her work is knowing the services provided by CTS have a significant and positive impact on the students she helps transport. The most important aspect of her role is ensuring drivers and driver’s aides have the tools, resources, and support they need to perform their work safely and effectively.

Samantha’s background has shaped her dedication to this work. Raised by a parent who built an agency serving Individuals with developmental disabilities, she was taught from a young age the importance of respect, dignity, and the vital role services like transportation play in the daily lives of students. Growing up immersed in the field, Samantha always knew helping others was her true calling.

In addition to her work at CTS, Samantha is passionate about her personal goals, which include becoming a foster parent with her partner and furthering her education in Social and Human Services.
