Capital Metro CEO Randy Clarke will leave Austin to head the public transit agency in Washington, D.C. Both agencies responsible for implementing the multibillion dollar Project Connect transit expansion are now leaderless. | KUTnathan
Clarke’s departure means both transit agencies responsible for overseeing the implementation of that multibillion dollar expansion will be without permanent leaders.
The Austin Transit Partnership — a local government agency created to oversee Project Connect — voted last month to remove Clarke as CEO after a consultant's report recommended a change in governance structure. An interim director was named during the search for a permanent replacement. And now Capital Metro, which has been struggling to keep routes running on time amid a driver shortage, will be without an executive."We will certainly miss Randy at CapMetro," Travis County commissioner and CapMetro board chair Jeffery Travillion said.
This story and headline have been clarified to reflect that Austin Transit Partnership has an interim leader.
