Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority General Manager and CEO Paul Wiedefeld and Chief Operations Officer Joe Leader stepped down May 16 after the Washington Metrorail Safety Commission (WMSC) issued a report detailing lapses in recertification status for about half of the agency’s 500 rail operators.
Wiedefeld had planned to retire in June.
Andy Off is serving as interim GM and CEO until Randy Clarke, who was named the agency’s next top executive a week before Wiedefeld resigned, takes the leadership reins in late summer. Most recently, Clarke has been president and CEO of the Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority in Austin, Texas.
