Oxford-University Transit Commission introduces new manager

O.U.T. gets full-time manager to oversee daily activities

Oxford, Miss. -The Oxford University Transit Commission is introducing the new full-time manager, Ron Biggs to the team. Tim Lett will be stepping back from the current position as temporary manager to make way for Biggs.

Biggs, a recent hire for McDonald Transit, will be taking on the day to day responsibilities of the Oxford University Transit system. Part of Biggs’s responsibility will be overseeing a proposed expansion of the system if city and university budgeting allows.

“Mr. Biggs is very qualified and will be a wonderful addition to O.U.T.’s management. He has been with us for a little while now and we’re all looking forward to the next few months,” says committee member Carole Haney. “Ridership numbers have been improving every time a new report comes out and hopefully the months ahead will see the same trend.”

Oxford University Transit is the only public transportation system in Oxford. The shuttle service operates six days a week, Monday through Saturday and runs two routes between 7:10 a.m and 6:40 p.m. The red route runs from North Lamar to South Lamar and the blue route runs from the Wal-Mart Supercenter on Jackson Avenue to the Brittany Woods neighborhood.

Oxford University Transit is operated by McDonald Transit, a company headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas that serves 30 public agencies across the United States and boasts 50.3 million passenger trips annually.
