Sound Transit's choice for CEO comes from Richmond, Virginia
SEATTLE — The leader of a regional transit system in Richmond, Virginia, has been tapped to be the next chief executive officer of Sound Transit.
Julie Timm, who now serves as CEO of the Greater Richmond Transit Company, or GRTC, received the recommendation of the board’s selection committee Thursday, but her name was not revealed until Friday.
“She is a fantastic transit leader with experiences that will serve Sound Transit and our residents well,” said Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers, a member of the selection panel. “She has focused on key priorities that fit well with our region, including excellent customer service, broad community engagement, equity in service delivery, and management efficiencies. I believe she will make a very strong CEO for Sound Transit.”
Timm currently oversees a public agency with more than 400 employees that provides bus service throughout the Richmond area. Jointly owned by the City of Richmond and Chesterfield County, the agency provides local and express bus services, including bus rapid transit.
