The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority has made a key leadership decision. Jonathan Hunt, who has been serving as interim general manager since August 2025, has been named the permanent CEO. A search committee had identified Hunt as one of three finalists for the position, all of whom have experience in the mass transit industry.

The selection was made at a recent board meeting. Further details about the decision and the search process are available from MARTA, including comments from the board chair, Jennifer Ide, who expressed pride in the national search that was conducted.
