“I am honored to serve on APTA’s Executive Committee, where I have the opportunity to represent Fort Worth and Tarrant County and engage with other transit leaders at a national level,” Andreski said. “This opportunity comes at a critical time when federal policymakers are evaluating priorities for the next federal transportation bill.”
“We are doing some interesting things at Trinity Metro, but the best is yet to come as Trinity Metro innovates and expands to meet the needs of our fast-growing city. I will bring back the best ideas that support our continued economic growth and great quality of life.”
Andreski also serves as vice chair of the APTA Commuter Rail Committee and chair of the APTA Awards Committee.
