Two years into her tenure as Birmingham-Jefferson County Transit Authority CEO Charlotte Shaw has agreed to a new contract that will keep her at the wheel of the agency for another three years.
“I enjoy working with the BJCTA, and have a great relationship with my board,” Shaw said. “They voted for the contract unanimously. I just wanted some security in case there was significant turnover and there was not enough time to build new relationships. Shaw also touts negotiating savings on a long-term disability plan and a power-washing contract , a reduction in maintenance overtime .
The next phase of the agency’s evolution, Shaw says, centers on the increasingly popular micro-transit, which is filling the gap between traditional fixed-route public transportation, and the thriving on-demand market. “These are not shared rides,” she said. “It’s like Uber and Lyft. It is for everyone, anyone who wants to have a single ride and pay for that ride, going from origin to destination no matter where that is. We’re going to start in a small demographic area, so we can control it, and then we’re going to move it out slowly.”
