“Anette advanced the Hispanic Chamber beyond all expectations,” said Rosa Navejar, former CEO of the Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. “I have no doubt she will do the same for Trinity Metro working with Rich and his team.”
Before her tenure at the Chamber, Landeros spent 12 years with the U.S. Department of Transportation in the Office of the Inspector General. Her extensive background in both community leadership and transportation makes her the ideal person to help guide Trinity Metro’s ambitious growth plans.
“As we continue to set new records with Trinity Metro TEXRail and Trinity Railway Express ridership and see rapid growth in the popularity of the Orange Line, this is the perfect time to bring Anette on board,” said Rich Andreski, president and CEO of Trinity Metro. “Landeros has an incredible understanding of the Fort Worth community and transportation. Her leadership will be instrumental in shaping our strategic initiatives and driving forward-thinking solutions for the future.”
Landeros joins Trinity Metro at a time of unprecedented momentum. The agency’s services, including Trinty Metro TEXRail, Trinity Railway Express, and the Orange Line, are breaking ridership expectations. New initiatives are underway to expand the network further. As Chief Strategy Officer Landeros will oversee the development of strategies that support both immediate goals and long-term growth.
“Transportation is the backbone of opportunity, and Trinity Metro is leading the way in creating a connected, vibrant future for our region,” Landeros said. “I look forward to helping the agency reach new milestones and ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional services that benefit our entire community.”

As Trinity Metro looks ahead to an exciting future, the creation of the Chief Strategy Officer role underscores the agency’s focus on innovation, strategic partnerships, and community impact.
The region’s fixed-route system finished out the year with a total of 373.5 million rides. Adding 12.3 million rides over 2024 represents an increase that is equal to the annual transit ridership of Kansas City.
The service is a flexible, reservation-based transit service designed to close the first- and last-mile gaps and connect riders to employment for just $5 per day.
The upgraded system, which went live earlier this month, supports METRO’s METRONow vision to enhance the customer experience, improve service reliability, and strengthen long-term regional mobility.
The agreement provides competitive wages and reflects strong labor-management collaboration, positive working relationships, and a shared commitment to building a world-class transit system for the community, said RTA CEO Lona Edwards Hankins.
The priorities are outlined in the 2026 Board and CEO Initiatives and Action Plan, which serves as a roadmap to guide the agency’s work throughout the year and ensure continued progress and accountability on voter-approved transportation investments and essential mobility services.
