TriMet promoted Jana Toran to the agency's new General Counsel in July. She replaced M. Brian Playfair who retired from this position.

Toran has been with TriMet for 10 years and was previously the company's director of legal services. Prior to her tenure at TriMet, Toran was sole practitioner of her own firm.

"She has made significant contributions to TriMet, building a strong in-house litigation team," said TriMet General Manager Neil McFarlane.
