On Monday, the Federal Transit Administration presented Metro Transit-St. Louis Chief Operating Officer Ray Friem with the Region VII Transportation Manager of the Year award.
Friem was honored for “displaying leadership while providing transportation service that is integral to the community, and for creating a vision for the system that has support both within and outside Metro,” Metro Transit officials said in a prepared statement.
Friem assumed responsibility for transit operations in 2003. He oversees the operations and maintenance divisions of MetroLink light-rail, MetroBus and paratransit van services. He also heads the planning and system development department, Americans with Disabilities Act services, and Metro Transit security and fare collection functions.
