“As CCTA’s incoming Board Chair, I am pleased to announce the unanimous decision to promote Tim Haile to Executive Director,” CCTA Board Chair Teresa Gerringer said. “Tim’s dynamic thinking, leadership, proactive management style, technical acuity and ability to work in partnership with numerous stakeholders on large, multidisciplinary projects ensures CCTA’s continued success.”
Voters formed the CCTA in 1988 to manage the county’s transportation sales tax program and oversee countywide transportation planning efforts. It is responsible for planning, funding and delivering transportation infrastructure projects and programs throughout the County and serves as the County’s designated Congestion Management Agency, responsible for putting programs in place to manage traffic levels.
