Eno’s president/CEO will work closely with the organization’s board of directors to create, develop, and implement policy and people development programs, including raising the money to ensure programs are implemented. They will also be charged with carrying out the goals and objectives set by Eno’s strategic plan, and managing the organization’s resources in a way that enhances and protects its financial and ethical position.
“Eno’s president/CEO role is appropriate for a candidate who is able to strategically lead and support the organization’s growth as the national leader in policy and professional development for the transportation industry,” said McNamara. “Eno’s next CEO will have a great opportunity to continue the organization’s tradition cultivating creative leadership across the transportation industry and define and develop programs for both emerging and existing critical issues.”
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.
