Wilkinson Named Executive Director in Charleston, SC

The Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA) in Charleston, SC, voted Dec. 21 to name Christine Wilkinson its executive director. She has served in the position on an interim basis since the retirement of her predecessor, Howard Chapman, on June 30, 2011.

“Christine Wilkinson is a strong leader and has done a great job in her time as interim executive director,” said Elliott Summey, CARTA board president. “She has been with CARTA since the beginning and knows the system, the area and is extremely qualified for the position.”

Wilkinson is a native of Charleston who has served as CARTA’s transit administrator since the formation of the authority in June 1997. She earlier served Charleston in the same capacity since October of 1995, assisting with the changeover of the city’s public transportation system from S.C.E. & G. to CARTA. She also assisted in the procurement of a new bus fleet, the privatization of fixed route service, and establishing CARTA as a recipient of federal transportation funds.
