Cline Is Selected as New President of DCTA
The Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) in Lewisville, TX, has selected Jim Cline as its new president, effective March 1. He succeeds Jim Witt, who served the authority in an interim capacity since early 2009 and is relocating to Kansas.
Cline has served as a director for the city of Irving, TX, since 1998, overseeing water utilities, solid waste, transportation, engineering, and streets. As a registered Professional Engineer in Texas, he has been involved in the implementation of Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s Orange Line and worked with Trinity Railway Express commuter rail and the Federal Railroad Administration on crossing-related issues within the city of Irving. Earlier, Cline worked for eight years with the city of Beaumont, TX, where he was responsible for Beaumont Municipal Transit and traffic operations.
DCTA Board Chairman Charles Emery called Cline “a well-regarded and respected transportation leader in North Texas. His involvement in numerous highway, transit, and public works projects throughout the area illustrates his commitment to improving the quality of life for those he serves.” He added: “His experience and leadership style are a perfect match for our growing agency.”
