Transportation chief to retire at year’s end
The director of the county’s primary transportation agency will retire at the end of the year, officials said Thursday.
Eric Haley, 59, joined the Riverside County Transportation Commission in March 1998 as its executive director. During his tenure, voters in 2002 renewed Measure A, a half-cent-on-the-dollar sales tax. The commission also embarked on significant projects including the reconstruction of the 60/91/215 freeway interchange and widening of California 60, 74 and 86.
Under Haley, the agency also built a new Metrolink station in downtown Corona.
Haley’s replacement will be selected from within the commission’s staff in November, officials said.
