Message From the Chief Executive Officer

Dear CDTA Community, 

I’m honored to step into the role of Chief Executive Officer at CDTA, and I want to thank the Board of Directors for their trust and confidence in me. It’s a privilege to join an organization that plays such an important role in connecting people and strengthening communities across the Capital District. 

I’m excited to lead CDTA at a time of incredible momentum. We’re continuing to reimagine how mobility can work better for everyone—thanks to the dedication of our 750 talented employees who are passionate about making a difference every day. Their work helps us build strong partnerships, deliver better experiences for our customers, and expand access to transportation across the region. 

As we look ahead, we’ll focus on addressing key challenges like securing long-term transit funding, recruiting and retaining a strong workforce, and meeting our sustainability goals. And through it all, ensuring everything we do is guided by ethics, equity, and accessibility. 

I’m truly excited for what’s ahead and look forward to working with our employees, board members, customers, and community partners to shape the future of transportation in the Capital Region.   

I’m riding with you! 

Frank Annicaro 

Chief Executive Officer
