Ganguly moves Forward

Ashika Ganguly, who narrowly lost the District 10 City Council race in November, will succeed Bill McCamley as the executive director of Transit Forward. A press release from Ganguly says she plans to focus on expanding public engagement, ensuring legislative protections for Project Connect and ensuring that transit solutions prioritize accessibility, environmental sustainability and affordability. “I am honored to take on this leadership role at Transit Forward,” Ganguly said. “Public transit is a cornerstone of equity and sustainability. As Austin grows, we have an opportunity to create a transit system that connects communities, reduces traffic congestion, and addresses the climate crisis. I’m excited to work with our partners, elected officials, and community leaders to turn that vision into reality.”
