The Suwannee Valley Transit Authority (SVTA) is planning to hire a new administrator for the organization after operating under an interim administrator for the past six months. According to Ricky Gamble, SVTA Board of Directors member and county commissioner, the board decided at their last meeting on Oct. 14 to begin putting together a job description and minimum requirements for the administrator position. The description should be completed by SVTA’s next meeting on Nov. 11, and will be advertised to the public to begin the interviewing process.

The SVTA is currently operating under interim administrator Teresa Fortner after the resignation of the previous administrator, Gwendolyn Pra, who resigned earlier this year.

Meanwhile, the Florida Department of Transportation continues its financial audit of SVTA.
