Town staffer appointed to VTA committee

Linda Gallo, the Los Gatos senior coordinator, has been appointed to the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) Committee for Transit Accessibility. The committee advises the VTA on services and accessibility, especially for seniors and the handicapped.

The VTA made Gallo's appointment last month.
