Milo Victoria, a transit industry veteran with 33 years experience, will join Omnitrans in San Bernardino, CA, in late January as its new chief executive officer. He will succeed Durand Rall, who officially retired in December 2009 after serving in the post since 1994, but is remaining as the appointed interim CEO through the end of January.

Victoria is assistant general manager, bus service, for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. He began his transit career with the former Southern California Rapid Transit District in Los Angeles and later its successor, Los Angeles Metro, most recently as deputy executive officer of maintenance and rebuild.

“We are confident that Milo will bring both the experience and the leadership skills needed to carry Omnitrans to a new level,” said Omnitrans Board Chair and Mayor of Highland Penny Lilburn. “The search to fill the Omnitrans CEO vacancy attracted numerous high-caliber candidates, but ultimately the Board was unanimous in its selection.”

Victoria serves on the APTA Bus Technical Maintenance Committee. He is a member of the Conference of Minority Transportation Officials, was a steering committee member for Hispanics in Transit, and is a former board chair of the Southern California Regional Transit Training Consortium.
