Ferguson Steps In as JTA Interim CEO | Jacksonville News

Cleveland Ferguson III is stepping into the CEO role at Jacksonville Transportation Authority as interim leader, unanimously approved by the board — a move aimed at keeping transit operations steady while they search for a permanent replacement. Taking over from outgoing CEO Nat Ford, who’s heading to Dallas, Ferguson brings deep institutional knowledge and strong community ties, having served JTA since 2015 in key executive roles. He’s focused on safety, reliability, and continuity during this transition, with experience spanning major projects and even Capitol Hill appearances. Though he was once considered for MARTA’s top job, Ferguson is now tasked with guiding JTA through this leadership change, with hopes of filling the permanent position by late 2027.
