Since the beginning of the year, Ernest Kandilige has been serving as Metro’s Interim Deputy General Manager. Starting today, I’m delighted to share that we will no longer need “Interim” in his title, as I have officially appointed Ernest as Metro’s Deputy General Manager.

As Deputy General Manager, Ernest is focused on supporting Metro operations in Vehicle Maintenance, Bus Operations, Transit Facilities, Safety and Security, Marine and Rail. I am confident in the leadership that Ernest brings and know how deeply he cares about the role Metro plays in improving the quality of life in King County. Ernest leads with equity at the forefront and is committed to helping Metro bring our Long Game to fruition. His focus on continuous improvement will help us deliver services that our riders care about and create a space where employees can feel supported to experiment and learn. Read more.
