As Chief Executive Officer of Delaware Transit Corporation (DTC), John has overseen the ongoing implementation of DTC's Transit Redesign Plan. He has played a key role in the Corporation’s efforts to rethink the way transit is delivered in Delaware, with innovative service delivery such as the launch of DART Connect, Delaware’s on-demand microtransit pilot in the rural communities of Georgetown and Millsboro in Sussex County, and the piloting of two autonomous transit shuttles.

have been opened in Wilmington and Lewes.
