The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) in Boston has named Jonathan Davis, the agency’s deputy general manager and chief financial officer, as acting MBTA general manager and MassDOT rail and transit administrator as of Sept. 2. On that day, current General Manager Richard Davey becomes secretary and chief executive officer of MassDOT.

Davis has served MBTA in his current position for more than 10 years, directing the authority’s financial management and accounting functions, managing the operating and capital budgets, and overseeing collection of all revenue. Prior to joining the agency in 1995, he worked in the private sector for 25 years at H.P. Hood Inc.

“The [MBTA] Board [of Directors] will continue to rely on Jon’s wisdom and counsel as the MBTA confronts both immediate and future challenges,” said Board Chairman John Jenkins.
