§ 101162 Transit Manager Experience Requirement

This rule says that when a board picks a new general manager, they must choose someone who has worked on buying, building, or running transit projects, if everything else about the candidates is the same.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board must look at experience with buying, building, or managing transit facilities first.
  • •This only matters when the other qualifications of the candidates are the same.
  • •The rule applies specifically to picking a general manager.

Example

A city transit board is choosing a new general manager and has two candidates who both have good leadership skills and education.

Because the board must follow this rule, they will pick the candidate who has actually helped build a subway line or managed a bus system, since that experience matters most when everything else is equal.
