Statement on the Passing of MARTA CEO Jeff Parker

ATLANTA—Mayor Andre Dickens issued the following statement:

"I am shocked and saddened to learn of the sudden and tragic death of my colleague and friend Jeff Parker. As MARTA'S General Manager and CEO, Jeff and I worked closely together when I chaired the Transportation Committee on City Council. Jeff understood that MARTA is more than just a transportation system--it represents connectivity for residents and visitors of our great city and region. My thoughts and prayers are with Jeff's family and friends, and with the staff and board at MARTA, during this very difficult time."
