The former head of Atlanta’s streetcar project is now the chief executive officer of the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority.
The SORTA Board approved Dwight Ferrell as the new CEO Tuesday morning.
Ferrell comes to the Cincinnati area from Fulton County, Georgia, where he served as county manager since October 2013. Before that, he was the deputy general manager and chief operating officer of MARTA, the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority for four years.
