SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - The Chatham Area Transit Board of Directors voted Tuesday to fire the new CEO. By a 6-3 vote, CAT Executive Director and CEO Bacarra Mauldin was relieved of her duties effective immediately. Mauldin was hired as the organization’s new CEO in June of 2020. She joined CAT from the New Orleans RTA. CAT Board Chairman Deidrick Cody said he could not provide more details surrounding Mauldin’s removal because the issue is a personnel matter. Board members WTOC spoke with say the board’s relationship with Mauldin had been discussed before. However, Vice Chairman Clinton Edminster says there was no reason given for her firing and he believes this action will have consequences for several in the community.
