KL2 Connects LLC has been retained by the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) in St. Petersburg, Florida to recruit the Authority’s next Deputy Director of Transportation.
PSTA, which serves all of Pinellas County Florida with a team of 390 Bus Operators and 40 routes, is a dynamic and industry-leading organization offering innovative transit and mobility programs.

This position requires an accredited B.S. with course work in business, transportation, or a related field (H.S. diploma or GED plus experience and training may be considered); at least seven years of transit industry experience (five in progressively responsible management positions); (preferred) experience working with labor unions (day to day interactions, contract negotiations); knowledge of applicable Federal, State and Local laws (including the ADA); basic budgeting skills; and knowledge of NIMS structure and methods. (For additional detail please review the position brochure.)
This is an excellent opportunity that offers attractive compensation, relocation, and equal opportunity.
