Rock Region Metro hires Florida executive to lead transit agency

A Palm Beach County, Fla., transit executive has accepted an offer to become the next executive director of Rock Region Metro, the transit agency for Pulaski County.

Charles Frazier accepted the offer after the Rock Region Metro board of directors voted Monday afternoon in a special meeting to hire him, Rock Region said in a news release issued shortly after the board vote.

Frazier, assistant director and support services director for Palm Tran Inc., a county-operated transit system in Palm Beach County, was one of three finalists the board interviewed last month to replace Jarod Varner, who left in August after four years. Frazier starts June 25.
