OC Transpo general manager Renée Amilcar says she has no intention of leaving the city of Ottawa, releasing a statement hours after a U.S. media report named her as a candidate to take over as head of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.
"I love my job and I love OC Transpo," Amilcar said Friday evening.
WBZ-TV in Boston reported Amilcar is a "top-tier candidate" for the job with the transit service in the Greater Boston area, which has been vacant since January.
In a memo to members of council and transit employees Friday night, Amilcar said she has not been contacted by any American public transit agencies for potential job opportunities.
"I remain fully committed to continuously improving OC Transpo services for the residents of Ottawa; I have no intention of leaving my current role as the General Manager of Transit Services at the City of Ottawa," Amilcar said.
"The OC Transpo team is remarkable, and I’m very proud of the work we do. I love my job and I love OC Transpo."
Amilcar arrived at OC Transpo in October 2021, succeeding John Manconi as head of Ottawa's transportation system. Amilcar was previously the executive director of bus services for the Société de Transports Montréal.
