Councilmember StephenWhitburn was voted MTS Chair today, filling the position vacated by nathanfletcher over one month ago. Whitburn is optimistic that San Diego's public transit use will continue to increase at an impressive rate in the coming years.
SAN DIEGO – After more than a month without an official leader, the Metropolitan Transit System’s Board of Directors today elected San Diego City Councilman Stephen Whitburn as its chair.
He detailed the $407 million budget MTS passed Thursday, the ways in which the system is recovering ridership at a faster clip than many other transit agencies and a new all-electric Rapid route planned in the South Bay.The leadership will have to tangle with an investigation into the behavior of Fletcher and legal ramifications of that behavior.
The plaintiff in the lawsuit against Fletcher, former MTS Public Information Officer Grecia Figueroa, alleges Fletcher groped her on two occasions and pursued a sexual relationship with her for months, leading to her abrupt firing on the day Fletcher announced his state Senate candidacy. She alleges that on Feb. 6, she was fired during a closed-door meeting and believes “that MTS terminated her employment because she was sexually harassed by defendant Fletcher.”
