“Terry’s previous experience has prepared him well to manage all areas of Transit Services,” said Liesenfelt.

“We know he will capably lead Transit Services Department employees to continue building on the successful public transportation system already in place. I remain amazed and proud of how our transit management and staff work together, work hard and deliver great service—even through the most difficult year I can remember.”
