The following is what I have to say regarding Nuria L. Fernandez resigning from VTA yesterday to accept a post at the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).
Note that this is NOT group position. Just my hot take on this matter. Check it out…

Nuria L. Fernandez is no longer with VTA. San Jose Spotlight is reporting that Ms. Fernandez has accepted a Deputy Administrator position with the Federal Transportation Administration (FTA). Read the story – featuring Ms. Fernandez’ resignation letter to VTA – here.
The same story reports that Evelyn Tran has been promoted to interim CEO at VTA. Ms. Tran will serve as General Manager and CEO while a national search takes place for Fernandez’ replacement.
On behalf of the Silicon Valley Transit Users, I wish Ms. Fernandez good luck in her future endeavors at the FTA in Washington, DC.
Given Ms. Fernandez’ resignation, who do you think should be VTA’s new General Manager and CEO?
What do you want to see (more of) in Ms. Fernandez’ replacement?

Today, we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday. He was born on January 15, 1929.
Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), BART and SamTrans are running their regular weekday schedule today. Caltrain is running a special, modified schedule today as well. By regular weekday schedule, it means the modified service hours for each agency due to the ongoing global pandemic.
Here’s Dr. King’s famous speech from the March On Washington For Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963.
Some of our goals in 2021 – including an action item for an upcoming VTA Workshop this Friday morning – will be in our next two posts. This and other information on the site will be updated throughout the week to reflect local transit leadership in 2021.
Overall, we still have work to do to help achieve Dr. King’s dream. Let’s get to it.
