BJCTA Names Dawson-August Executive Director

The Birmingham-Jefferson County Transit Authority (BJCTA) in Birmingham, AL, has named Ann Dawson-August its new executive director, effective January 2013.

Dawson-August, who has worked in public transportation for more than 30 years, has served since 2001 as executive director of the Santee Wateree Regional Transportation Authority in Sumter, SC. She earlier spent 13 years with the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority in Philadelphia.

Debra Anderson Burse has been acting director of BJCTA since Peter Behrman stepped down from the post in the spring.

“The board was committed to hiring an individual with experience, who was knowledgeable about all facets of transit, and who had a proven track record of success managing and operating a transit system,” said BJCTA Board Chair Joyce E. Brooks. “We are confident in Mrs. August’s ability to lead the efforts in building a transit system that the entire community can be proud of.”

Dawson-August said: “Transportation is my passion and has been for the past 32 years. I am truly ready to hit the ground running, and to start establishing more partnerships that will help the BJCTA team turn the page and create a new chapter in Alabama’s transit history.”
