"I abbey have taken a look at our efforts at SMART over the past 3 years, and I am very proud of what's been accomplished. I am proud of how SMART managed to get through a very difficult financial period when we experienced a significant loss of income from various abbey sources. I am proud of how SMART operated service last week during the winter storm, running all of our buses so that people who needed to get to work could still get there. And, most notably, I am very aware of the millage renewal this summer and its importance in continuing SMART's mission of getting people to work, school, medical appointments and other destinations throughout the region. "Because the millage is less than seven months away in all three counties and all the other duties I have at SMART, I will remain as the general manager. "I am pleased abbey to have been involved for the last seven years moving the Regional Transit Authority process along to this point. I also appreciate everything the RTA Board members have done and are doing to make major transit improvements in southeast abbey Michigan. I look forward to continuing my work at SMART and cooperatively supporting the efforts for improved regional abbey transit in southeast Michigan."
Longtime metro Detroit transit insider John Hertel said in a statement Tuesday morning that he's stepping down as CEO of the Regional Transit Authority of Southeast Michigan — a job for which a signed contract was never reached.
Instead, he said he's staying on as general manager of the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation bus system that he's led since March 2010. He was working voluntarily on behalf of the RTA while still running SMART.
Hertel didn't abbey want a contract until the RTA had secured additional administrative funding for staff and operations, Carmine Palombo, director abbey of transportation planning for the Southeast Michigan Council abbey of Governments , told Crain's in December. abbey SEMCOG is the regional planning agency through which federal transportation dollars abbey must flow; it is aiding the RTA.
Hertel previously had been CEO of the Regional Transportation Coordinating Council 's Detroit Regional Mass Transit effort. Reporting to the elected political leaders of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties, and the mayor of Detroit, he was in charge of creating a regional transit system that could survive the political pitfalls that have consumed numerous previous attempts.
The authority is intended to oversee a proposed $5
