“I’m thrilled to welcome Patrick to the East Coast Greenway team,” said Executive Director Dennis Markatos-Soriano. “He has tremendous experience with several related nonprofits and possesses an impressive array of relevant knowledge from his time with USDOT. His addition will greatly enhance our mission to advance one of the nation’s most important biking and walking corridors.”

“I’m excited and honored to join a team that’s making a real, tangible impact in hundreds of communities and millions of people’s lives across America,” Sabol said. “I can’t wait to help grow the Greenway, which includes the trail that my family and I rely on to get work and school every day.”
