Trinity Metro Board of Directors Approves Seven-Year Contract Renewal for President & CEO Richard Andreski
FORT WORTH, Texas — The Trinity Metro Board of Directors voted unanimously Monday evening to approve a seven-year contract renewal for President & CEO Richard Andreski, reaffirming the Board’s strong confidence in his leadership and the future direction of the agency.
Since arriving at Trinity Metro four years ago, Andreski has led a period of transformation and momentum for the agency, helping elevate both Trinity Metro and the City of Fort Worth onto the national transit stage.
Among the agency’s most recognized initiatives under Andreski’s leadership has been the launch of Trinity Metro’s color-coded line program, an innovative effort designed to simplify transit and create a more intuitive experience for both existing riders and first-time users. The initiative has been widely embraced throughout the community for celebrating the unique neighborhoods and corridors each route serves while making the system easier to navigate and more approachable.
In addition to advancing customer-focused improvements across the transit system, Andreski has prepared Trinity Metro for major infrastructure and expansion efforts that continue to strengthen regional mobility and economic opportunity. Trinity Metro is preparing for upcoming groundbreaking ceremonies for the TEXRail extension into Fort Worth’s Medical District and the Trinity Railway Express double-track project, two transformative investments aimed at improving connectivity and supporting the region’s continued growth.
Under Andreski’s leadership, Trinity Metro has also continued improving fixed-route bus service with a focus on reliability, efficiency, and enhancing the rider experience across the network.
“Rich has brought bold vision, strong leadership, and tremendous momentum to Trinity Metro,” said Jeff Davis, Chair of the Trinity Metro Board of Directors. “Rich dreams and dreams big. The Board’s unanimous action tonight reflects our confidence in his leadership, the relationships he has cultivated throughout our region, and the exciting future ahead for Trinity Metro.”
Andreski has also established a dynamic leadership team that combines national transit expertise with respected local leadership, helping strengthen the agency’s connection to the communities it serves. Throughout his tenure, he has fostered strong relationships with city and regional leaders while helping raise Fort Worth’s profile within the national transportation industry.
That growing profile will continue this year as Fort Worth prepares to host the Commuter Rail Coalition’s national conference this fall, followed by the Texas Transit Association’s statewide conference and bus rodeo in February 2027, bringing transportation leaders from throughout the country to Tarrant County.
“I’m honored by the trust the Board has placed in me,” said Andreski. “The progress Trinity Metro has made over the last four years reflects an incredible team, strong partnerships across our region, and a shared commitment to building a transit system that helps shape the future of Fort Worth and Tarrant County.”
Trinity Metro continues to focus on expanding mobility options, supporting economic development, and delivering innovative transportation solutions for one of the nation’s fastest-growing regions.
