DART, the Dallas Area Rapid Transit, has announced three finalists for its open President & CEO position. The finalists are Nathaniel P. Ford Sr., CEO of the Jacksonville Transportation Authority, Dee Leggett, Director of Business Operations for Herzot Transit Services, Inc., and Monica Tellez-Fowler, President/CEO of the Central Ohio Transit Authority.
Selection Process
The DART Board has a monumental task ahead of them to select the next President & CEO from this finalist panel. As part of their commitment to transparency and community engagement, they are asking the public for feedback from a meet and greet on Saturday to inform the final decision.
The meet and greet will be held on Saturday, July 11, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. at DART headquarters. The DART board is expected to vote on Tuesday, July 14 at 6 p.m. to decide on a final candidate.
The position became available after the company terminated outgoing CEO Nadine Lee’s contract when the two sides could not come to a severance agreement. Lee had led the transportation company since 2021 and pointed to recent ‘political hurdles’ for the service when examining her time with DART.
