The restructuring the Sacramento Regional Transit Authority (RT) will be split into six main sections: accountability, finance, partnerships, planning, safety and transit services.  This comes after 20 management positions were eliminated and 16 people were employed to clean buses, stations and trains each day. As the new General Manager and CEO of the Authority, Henry Li explained that the RT is currently going through “some significant cultural and business transformation [adding that they] want to put [their] customers first in everything [they] do.”

The goal is to turn the RT into an accountable, effective and efficient organization. And Li has the experience given his work at the Jacksonville Transportation Authority.  While there, the authority was the recipient of various awards including: Jacksonville Business Journal’s Big Turn Around Organization Award, the White House Champion for Change and the American Public Transportation Association Outstanding Public Transportation System Award.

It is therefore Li’s intention to get the Sacramento Transportation Authority to the same level.
