Keith Parker is the new CEO and General Manger of MARTA. He started this week, after three and a half years running the transit system in San Antonio, Texas.
In part 1 of a conversation with WABE’s Denis O’Hayer, Parker talked about the political challenge he faces as he seeks state funding for the financially-strapped system, while also trying to improve efficiency and service.
