Transit Unplugged

Nat Ford – Jacksonville Transportation Authority


Listen Later

“I think, when we talk public transit, we are limiting ourselves. We are mobility managers.”

Nat Ford started his public transit career as a train conductor for New York MTA. He went on to work for the Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART), Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), and San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA). Currently, he is the CEO of the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) and Chairman of the American Public Transportation Association (APTA). In this episode, Ford discusses JTA’s U2C project and his five priorities as Chair of APTA: Leadership and Advocacy, New Mobility Paradigm, Workforce Development, Leveraging Big Data, and Enterprise Risk Management.
