McNeill has advocated for, facilitated, and promoted zero-emission bus adoption in North America and spearheaded New Flyer’s support of smart city development through smart, sustainable, mobility solutions. She oversaw the development and opening of New Flyer’s Vehicle Innovation Center, and the launch of New Flyer Infrastructure Solutions™, a service dedicated to providing safe, reliable project management for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure deployment.
She currently serves on the boards of the Canadian Urban Transit Association and the Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium, as well as the Transportation Research Board Transit Research Analysis Committee in Washington, D.C.
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.
