Finding the next MTC Executive Director

Seamless Bay Area​ wants to see the next MTC Executive Director pioneer a new generation of leadership for regional transportation in the Bay Area. The stakes are incredibly high: as a region, we face pressing problems of congestion, rising greenhouse gas emissions, decreasing housing affordability and deepening inequality. Meanwhile, the lack of quality, efficiency and integration in our regional transportation system hampers its ability in helping address our major regional challenges. The MTC could play an essential, pivotal role in helping our regional transportation system reach its full potential, but this will require new and transformational leadership.
