BOSTON — Massachusetts Department of Transportation announced the appointment of MBTA Deputy General Manager Jeffrey Gonneville as the interim GM while Governor-elect Maura Healey searches for a permanent general manager.
Effective Jan. 4, 2023, MBTA Deputy General Manager Jeffrey Gonneville will succeed outgoing GM Steve Poftak, who has served as GM since 2019, according to Transportation Secretary and CEO Jamey Tesler.
