Port Authority of Allegheny County CEO Katharine Kelleman is staying in town.
Kelleman’s contract was extended four years in a unanimous vote Friday by the Port Authority of Allegheny County Board.
"Katharine has exceeded our expectations in the time she's been at Port Authority," said Port Authority Board Chair Jeff Letwin.
"Not only has she established a vision for public transportation and implemented a long list of improvements that benefit riders and employees, but she has also become a vital part of this community as it charts its future beyond the pandemic."
Kelleman became the CEO in early-2018 and oversaw its highest rider numbers prior to COVID-19.
The contract is set to expire in December 2025. Kelleman’s base salary is $269,500 that includes a 5% increase over her prior deal.
"I am grateful to the Board for their continued support," Kelleman said. "We've accomplished a great deal already and I'm looking forward to so much more in the years ahead."
