Prior to this role, Jones was Chief Customer and Sales Officer of Dell Services. He also served as sr. VP for HP’s services business in Asia, Pacific and Japan, while living in Singapore. He spent most of his career as a GM, including a six-year assignment in London where he was responsible for some HP’s largest customer relationships in Europe.
Jones has an outstanding reputation for operational excellence and efficiency, and is expected to continue MV’s momentum with renewed focus on improved safety results, increased training, continued growth and innovation, according to the company.
“We are thrilled to have Kevin join MV Transportation as our new CEO during this transformative period for the public transit industry,” said Lisa Winston Hicks, chairman of MV’s Board of Directors. “His track record of creating value, building momentum and energizing teams, makes him an ideal fit. Kevin’s passion for customer service and his advocacy for diversity, inclusion and community involvement also make him the right person to lead MV as we embark on our 43rd year."
Jones has served as executive sponsor of three employee resource groups at Hewlett Packard Enterprise: the Black Employee Network (BEN), Young Employee Network, and PRIDE. He also serves as a board member for the North Texas Food Bank and the World Affairs Council of Dallas.
“I am excited about joining the amazing team at MV as the new Chief Executive,” Jones said. “MV has achieved such extraordinary success because of the unbelievably dedicated people who come to work every day with a singular purpose: to ensure we meet our commitments to our clients, our riders and each other. We serve some of the country’s most vulnerable citizens and the MV Team is always ready to meet the challenges that come with serving our communities.”
Jones will help ensure MV has the right strategic processes, talent and culture to meet the needs of its clients and riders as the industry changes. He holds a BBA from James Madison University and is a Certified Management Accountant. Jones completed the Executive Training Program – Leading Strategic Change at Indiana University. He lives with his wife and two sons in Dallas.
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.
