Llamas in the driver’s seat: AC Transit names new general manager to tackle budget deficit

Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District will have a new general manager and CEO, starting May 15.

AC Transit’s chief operating officer Salvador “Sal” Llamas was named to the role by the bus agency’s board of directors after a nationwide search that was conducted by consultant Krauthamer & Associates. He will take over the role from Kathleen Kelly, who had been serving in the role on an interim basis since GM and CEO Michael Hursh transitioned to a senior advisor role in December.
