David Cangany joined the South Bend Public Transportation Corporation (TRANSPO) in South Bend, IN, as its new general manager on Jan. 7.

“Mr. Cangany brings a wealth of transit experience to TRANSPO. We are excited to have him as part of the team,” said TRANSPO Board Chairman John E. Leszczynski.

Cangany comes to TRANSPO from Cincinnati Metro, where he served most recently as performance manager and earlier as station manager for the agency’s Queensgate and Bond Hill operating facilities.

He previously was manager of special services for the Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky in Ft. Wright, KY, and transportation supervisor for IndyGo in Indianapolis. Cangany began his public transit career while he was a student at Indiana University in Bloomington, working as an operator for Indiana University Campus Bus Service and Bloomington Transit.

“I am really looking forward to joining the TRANSPO team—especially at this moment, with the many innovative, cutting-edge projects that are on the horizon,” Cangany said. “It is an extraordinary time to come on board and help improve the customer experience and promote the use of transit within the community. Being able to return home to Indiana makes this a remarkable opportunity,” he added.
