LEWISVILLE, Texas — Denton County Transportation Authority CEO Raymond Suarez has resigned, effective March 31.
The Denton Record-Chronicle reports the authority board of directors unanimously accepted the resignation after two hours in closed session and named Paul Cristina, currently deputy CEO, as interim CEO. Suarez did not respond to the newspaper’s request for comment.
Suarez joined the agency as chief operating officer in 2014 and became CEO in 2018. In a press release, he was credited with unifying relationships with the major Dallas and Fort Worth-area transit agencies, Dallas Area Rapid Transit and Trinity Metro, and with helping arrange an agreement for a joint facility to support operations of DCTA’s A-Train and DART’s Silver Line.
The agency operates the 21-mile A-Train commuter service between Denton and Carrollton, Texas, where it connects with DART, as well as bus and on-demand van transit services.
The board will discuss plans to launch a search for a new CEO at its March 24 meeting.
