Gnadt Is Champaign-Urbana’s Next Managing Director

The Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District (CUMTD) Board of Trustees, Urbana, IL, has named Karl Gnadt to become the agency’s next managing director on July 1, 2014, following the announced retirement of longtime General Manager Bill Volk. Effective immediately, Gnadt assumes the title of managing director designate and continues as director of market development.

Gnadt has been CUMTD’s director of market development since 1995. Before coming to Champaign-Urbana, he was mass transit director with Danville (IL) Mass Transit beginning in 1991.He is a member of the Leadership APTA Class of 2013 and the APTA Information Technology Committee.

“I'm very excited to be working with such a hard-working, dedicated group of people,” Gnadt said. “CUMTD has been built on the backs of their commitment and sweat. And we’ve got great places still to go.”

When Volk joined CUMTD in 1974, the agency had 23 buses, about 50 employees, and annual ridership of 708,272. It now employs 328, operates 102 buses, and provides more than 12 million rides annually.
