The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) yesterday announced six appointments to the agency’s transformation management office, a new department created as part of MTA’s reorganization plan.
Wael Hibri was named deputy chief transformation officer; Zeb Voss, chief of staff; Eamonn Foley, special counsel; Jaibala Patel, chief financial officer; and Mildred Chua and Michael Moran, both heads of program delivery.
Voss has executed transformations in decentralized industrial and manufacturing environments, both domestically and globally. The other members of the team come from various MTA offices, MTA officials said in a press release.
The appointees will report to Chief Transformation Officer Anthony McCord.
Also yesterday, the MTA issued a request for proposals (RFP) seeking transportation companies interested in a pilot program that would improve mobility options for New Yorkers working overnight shifts.
The MTA is seeking a shared-mobility service that would better connect areas in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island that are more than a half mile from a subway station and have limited bus service overnight.
The proposal should focus on data collection and analysis to determine the pilot program's structure. Submissions are due Feb. 18.
A second phase of the RFP will be issued in March. That phase will help determine the program's location, timeframe and business terms of the program.
The MTA anticipates selecting a program partner by March 31.
The reason for the pilot project is to address late shift employment that is expected to grow over the next five to 10 years, MTA officials said.
