Congratulations to our GM and CEO Randy Clarke on two years at Metro. Here, he shares his insights and reflections on how we have transformed to restore public trust and enhance service delivery in our transit system. “This year alone, under the leadership of our Board of Directors, we avoided draconian service cuts that would have devastated our region again,” he said in this interview with the American Public Transportation Association. “Our board remained steadfast and never wavered on ensuring our customers were at the forefront of every decision.” Read his powerful commentary for a glimpse into our journey of growth and resilience. Cheers to continued success! #wmata
