DALLAS — Former Jacksonville Transportation Authority CEO Nat Ford began his first official day as the President and CEO of Dallas Area Rapid Transit on Monday.
Ford, who said he was unable to attend a Jacksonville City Council Finance Committee hearing on Friday because of the start of his new role, was officially welcomed in Dallas at a morning news conference.
At the news conference, Ford referred to his time at the Jacksonville authority now suffering from financial instability as part of his background.
He said he planned to bring his experience to bear on the community’s “unique dreams” for public transportation.
“I intend to remain laser-focused on developing and executing on those priorities without distraction,” Ford said.
