Thursday, November 2, 2023 by Chad Swiatecki
Austin Transit Partnership has named Brad Cummings as its new senior vice president of procurement and contract management and Haley Garcia as its new senior vice president of program controls in the planning, community and federal programs department. Cummings most recently served as vice president of business services for Dallas Area Rapid Transit and was named as one of Mass Transit magazine’s 2023 40 Under 40. Garcia most recently worked as the project controls manager for Valley Metro in Phoenix. “Brad and Haley bring decades of combined professional experience and passion for the transit sector and will be valuable as we enter the next stages of implementation focused on our delivery framework and the federal funding process,” ATP Executive Director Greg Canally said in a prepared statement.
