Our current Executive Director, Caitlin Allen-Connelly, will step down at the end of September to relocate to London where she'll continue work on transportation. TransitMatters is immensely grateful for Caitlin's leadership and relentless advocacy.
Her impact is felt far beyond our team, a testament echoed by advocates and partners throughout the region.
