CEO of fast-growing Sound Transit system to step aside
SEATTLE — Sound Transit will soon begin a nationwide search for a new CEO.
CEO Peter Rogoff won’t stay beyond 2022, board Chairman Kent Keel said at a regular meeting of the transit agency’s overseers Thursday. Neither Keel nor Rogoff said what the CEO’s plans are beyond next spring, when a newly approved contract expires.
“The exhilaration never really wanes, but the exhaustion sometimes spikes,” Rogoff said at the meeting.
The transit agency grew significantly after he took over as the top administrator in January 2016. During his tenure, light rail has spread north, south and east through the Seattle metropolitan area, and voters have supported taxes for expansion of bus rapid transit and more rail service.
