David Kutrosky has been named managing director of the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA) in Oakland, CA, which manages the Capitol Corridor intercity passenger rail service. He succeeds Eugene (Gene) Skoropowski, who retired in 2009 after 10 years in the post.

The CCJPA board also voted unanimously to extend the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District’s (BART) managing contract for the service to February 2015.

Kutrosky, who previously served as deputy managing director of CCJPA, oversees operating and capital budgets totaling $70 million a year; a management team of 16 employees; and a transport service comprising 300 Amtrak employees, 170 miles of track, and 16 stations from Auburn to San Jose, CA. He called Skoropowski “a great mentor, a great friend, and a great colleague.”

Before joining the authority, Kutrosky worked in the Planning Department at BART and earlier was a consultant in traffic engineering, transit operations planning, and airport planning and design. His career of multi-modal transportation engineering, planning, and financing spans more than 20 years.
