ATLANTA – The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority Board of Directors appointed MARTA Chief Legal Counsel Jonathan Hunt as interim General Manager and CEO.
The move follows the sudden retirement of Collie Greenwood on July 17.
The Board today also named a strategic operational advisory group to support Hunt in his interim role. The group will be led by former MARTA General Manager and CEO Keith Parker, and its members include Metro Atlanta Chamber CEO Katie Kirkpatrick, Atlanta Regional Commission Executive Director & CEO Anna Roach, and Atlanta Chief Strategy Officer Peter Aman.
The MARTA Board of Directors has also formed a search committee that will work with an executive search firm to select a permanent GM/CEO. The ad hoc committee consists of Chair Jennifer Ide, Valencia Williamson, Al Pond, Rita Scott, and Sagirah Jones.
Hunt has worked in MARTA’s legal department for almost 12 years and was named chief legal counsel in 2024, bringing with him decades of experience in transit, real estate, finance, corporate law, and construction management. Prior to joining MARTA, Hunt served as assistant city attorney for Atlanta, representing, among other entities, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. He also serves as president of the American Public Transportation Association’s Legal Affairs Committee and sits on the national board of APTA.
Chief Customer Experience Officer Rhonda Allen served as acting GM/CEO since June 18.
