Jeremiah Bryant has been promoted to director of strategic development at Omnitrans, after 12 years of increasing responsibilities at the transit agency.
He will lead a team of 15 employees. Functions of the newly-formed Strategic Development Department include service planning, development planning, stops and stations, grant writing and business intelligence.
“We believe Jeremiah’s skills and experience will help Omnitrans strategically adapt to a rapidly changing landscape within transit and in the San Bernardino Valley,” said Omnitrans CEO/General Manager P. Scott Graham.
“I appreciate the investment Omnitrans places in its employees. Nearly 12 years ago, I joined Omnitrans and hoped to use my analytical abilities to aid the agency. Over the years, Omnitrans has invested in training, development and provided opportunities for growth,” Bryant said. “I look forward to leveraging the investment the agency has made in me by leading the Strategic Development Department as we move to enhance Omnitrans’ service in the future.”
Bryant began his career at Omnitrans as a marketing analyst in 2007 and was promoted to planning and scheduling manager in 2010. He has represented Omnitrans on numerous regional committees and served as the agency’s primary contact with the American Bus Benchmarking Group, a national industry peer group. He recently graduated from the inaugural Omnitrans Leadership Development Academy.
Prior to working in transit, he held market research positions at Darnell Group. Bryant also served as an economics instructor at Chaffey College between 2000 and 2016.
Bryant earned a Bachelor of Science in Economics degree from Saint Mary’s College of California and a Master of Arts in Economics from University of California, Davis.
