Wells Is New Administrator of Maryland MTA

The Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) has announced the promotion of 20-year MTA employee Ralign T. Wells to the position of administrator. He succeeds Paul J. Wiedefeld, who is assuming a leadership role at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport.

Wells joined the agency as a part-time bus operator and rose through the ranks, serving since October 2007 as deputy administrator for operations. His other positions include supervisor, superintendent, deputy director of bus operations, and director of Metro Subway operations.

“With two decades of experience in virtually every major area of transit operations at MTA, Ralign Wells is uniquely qualified to lead the organization,” said Maryland DOT Secretary Beverley K. Swaim-Staley. “He is a strategic leader with a clear sense of purpose and creativity when faced with diverse challenges.”

Wells stated: “"From my time in the driver’s seat of a bus, I know the value of good public transportation. As administrator, I pledge to do everything I can to make MTA the best choice for getting around safely and efficiently.”
