STEPHENS Executive Director Deputy Executive Director EDWARD T. WOODS, JR., CPA LAURA THEZINE, CPA Director of Finance & Accounting Manager Information Technology EXECUTIVE MESSAGE This past year has proven to be a successful and significant time for the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority. Our ridership has grown by 5.1% over the previous year. New rolling stock has been received to provide our passengers with a more comfortable and reliable ride. We are collaborating with partners throughout the region to enhance service to our community and we are committed to responsible growth of our service. We have recently accepted 8 new cars from Rotem Hyundai. As more cars and soon, locomotives, are delivered to the Agency, we will have almost all of our fleet in new or rebuilt condition. We will be poised to meet any opportunities presented, be they additional increases in ridership or operating new and expanded routes. Over the past two years, two separate analysis have shown the SFRTA to be one of the most efficiently run transit systems in the country. Over 90% of the public’s money is contracted out to private companies, leaving administrative overhead at just 9%.
