Local News in Brief : Interim Transit Chief
Paul C. Taylor, the second-in-command at the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission for six years, has been named acting executive director of the agency. The commission allocates funds to the RTD and other transit systems for bus service and is building a multibillion-dollar trolley system that will connect to the RTD’s Metro Rail subway.
Taylor, 41, a former planner at the Southern California Rapid Transit District, replaces Rick Richmond, who resigned last month to take a job with the New Jersey Transit Corp.
