In joining the Board of the Commuter Rail Coalition, Mr. Tucker brings with him the insight of a long career in the public transportation sector. Prior to NCTD, he served as Director of the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation, COO of Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, and AGM of the Greater Richmond (VA) Transit Company.
On Mr. Tucker’s election to the Board, Commuter Rail Coalition Chair Jim Derwinski noted, “Matt’s dedication and passion for innovation makes him a worthy successor to Doug as the Coalition expands its footprint and impact.”
In accepting the role, Mr. Tucker succeeds Doug Kelsey, a founding member of the Coalition, whose “six-month commitment to serving on the Board through the Coalition’s development and launch was invaluable in setting the stage for success,” added Derwinski.
