Kyle Holland!

Ms. Kyle Holland, our 2024 Alumna of the Year, has been a proven leader and currently serves as Deputy Executive Officer at LA Metro. She oversees Customer Experience for the TAP Smartcard Program which supports 27 transit agencies and serves over 10 million people in LA County. Kyle leads TAP’s regional customer education and marketing efforts and oversees the $64M TAP vendor network, made up of over 1,000 large chain retailers and small businesses that sell TAP fare to the public.

Kyle’s unique combination of education, experience and interests has enabled her to lead the marketing and implementation of several major fare policy initiatives and projects, including the elimination of Metro’s paper passes and tokens, and the introduction of fare capping.

Kyle is a graduate of UC Berkeley with a BA in Mass Communications and a BA in Sociology. She also earned a Master’s in Communications Management from USC before getting her Master’s in Transportation Management (MSTM) at San Jose State University / Mineta Transportation Institute. Kyle returned to MTI in 2021 to serve two years on the Board of Trustees. She is also a fellow with the Southern California Leadership Network and the Eno Center for Transportation.
