Statement from Metro Interim GM/CEO Andy Off

Metro Interim General Manager and Chief Executive Officer Andy Off released the following statement:

“I am honored to serve as Interim General Manager and appreciate the trust the Board and Randy Clarke have placed in me. My mission during this transition is clear, and I am focused on our safety challenges, as well as restoring the 7000-series railcars for our customers and advancing Silver Line phase two.

On my first day on the job, I met with the executive management team, the operations senior leadership team, and got briefed on the status of several key safety matters. As I told Chair Smedberg and Randy Clarke, the team here is united in our commitment to safety and getting riders back on Metro. We are determined not to miss a step, and everyone I have spoken to externally and internally today has offered their support and assistance.”
