David Braun will become the new general manager of Connect Transit in August.
Bloomington-Normal’s public bus system board has approved the hiring of David Braun as its new general manager, replacing interim manager Mark Peterson. Braun will start Aug. 9.
The selection of Braun represents the culmination of a several month national search to hire a replacement for Isaac Thorne, who resigned the position in August of 2020 to take a similar job in Knoxville, Tenn.
Connect Transit Board Chairman Ryan Whitehouse said the board feels fortunate to attract such an experienced candidate in Braun.
“The members of the board of trustees are confident that Mr. Braun will find ways to make our already outstanding transit system even better,” said Whitehouse.

This Sunday, the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority will begin 24/7 Metro service on seven of its major routes. The union president doesn t think there are enough drivers to make it a reality. The bus company disagrees.
This new 24/7 Metro service is a part of the first phase of its Reinventing Metro plan. This was made possible with the passing of Issue 7 last spring. The additional 0.8% Hamilton County sales tax should provide about $100 million a year for the bus system plus another $30 million a year for road and bridge projects throughout the county.
Troy L. Miller, president and business agent of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 627, expressed his doubts about Metro s new venture.
