King Appointed Director of Santa Monica’s Big Blue Bus

Santa Monica’s Big Blue Bus has announced the appointment of Edward F. King as its new director. He will succeed Stephanie Negriff, who is retiring in October.

King will join the Santa Monica system from the San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority, where he is currently executive director. He has also been affiliated with Valley Metro in Phoenix; Long Beach Transit in Long Beach, CA; Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority in St. Petersburg, FL; Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority in Tampa, FL; and North Suburban Mass Transit District in Des Plaines, IL.

“Ed King is an exceptional manager with a proven track record in operations management and transportation planning for several large organizations,” said Santa Monica City Manager Rod Gould. “He brings in-depth experience ranging from transit system improvements focusing on service quality and reliability to strategic transit service planning. He is known for strong management, staff development, and budgeting skills.”

Negriff worked in public transportation for 25 years, rising through the ranks at Big Blue Bus before becoming its director in 2002. She was first appointed to Santa Monica city service in 1986 and served in various capacities, including assistant director for operations, manager of transit development, and intergovernmental relations and senior administrative analyst.
