Nat Ford Leaves JTA for Dallas | Jacksonville News

Nat Ford, the visionary leader who transformed Jacksonville Transit over 13 years, is stepping into a bigger role—heading Dallas Area Rapid Transit starting October 26. After announcing his JTA retirement in January, Ford was chosen from three finalists, bringing his proven track record from San Francisco and Atlanta to Dallas. He’s credited with building the regional transit hub and finishing a major road project early. Despite current challenges at JTA—including a controversial fare hike and underwhelming ridership on its self-driving service—his legacy is praised as groundbreaking. The JTA board may soon name an interim leader as Ford departs. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
