TransLink has named Kevin Quinn as the next chief executive officer of the transit network based in Vancouver, British Columbia. He will start the new job on July 19.

Currently, Quinn is administrator and CEO of the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA), one of the largest multimodal transit systems in the United States.

With a mix of six transit modes and more than 100 million passengers a year, MTA has strong parallels to TransLink, TransLink officials said in a press release.

"We look forward to welcoming Kevin Quinn to the TransLink enterprise, which will benefit from his bold, innovative and customer-centered approach to leadership," said TransLink Chair Tony Gugliotta. "As TransLink prepares to welcome back more customers to transit and launch a robust ridership recovery plan, we are thrilled to have Kevin lead TransLink into its next chapter."

Quinn has served as CEO of the MTA since 2017. Prior to that role, he was director of planning and programming for MTA, responsible for implementing a complete overhaul and rebranding of the core transit system.

At TransLink, Quinn will succeed Gigi Chen-Kuo, who has been serving as interim CEO since Kevin Desmond resigned in February.
