Setzer to chair national task force
Michael Setzer, the general manager of Metro, Cincinnati's only bus system, has been named chairman of the American Public Transportation Association's new Emergency Preparedness Task Force.
The goal of the task force is to plan for a coordinated transit industry response to catastrophic events like Hurricane Katrina, that require evacuation and mutual support beyond the capacity of a local transit system. The task force will study best practices and come up with a plan to deal with evacuation support and restoration of service.
The task force includes transit leaders from New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Austin, Salt Lake City, and Miami, along with representatives from smaller transit systems.
Setzer has served as Metro’s general manager and CEO since July 2004, and has more than 30 years of transit management experience.
