The Solano Transportation Authority is saddened to learn of the passing of long-time Board of Directors Member, and two-term Board Chair, Harry Price. Serving on the Board since 2005, and as Board Chair in 2011 and 2019, Fairfield Mayor Price advocated for increased mobility options for older adults, people with disabilities, veterans, and low-income residents.

Mayor Price actively supported and participated in STA’s Safe Routes to School Program and could often be seen at “Walk to School Day” and “Walk or Wheel Wednesdays.” Most recently, Mayor Price successfully advocated at the federal and state levels to secure the necessary funding to begin construction on the I-80 Express Lanes Project be benefit commuters in the City of Fairfield and all of Solano County.

Our thoughts, prayers, condolences, and sincerest gratitude for his many years of service to the transportation community go out to the City of Fairfield and the family of Mayor Price.
