WTA CEO Steps Down

Steve Castleberry, Chief Executive Officer of the Water Transit Authority (WTA), has announced his resignation, which was accepted with regret at the newly formed Water Emergency Transit Authority’s (WETA) March 31 Board of Directors meeting.

Published: May, 2008 

The move was prompted by an unexpected job offer that allows Castleberry to work closer to his Nevada City home. 

Castleberry joined the WTA in April of 2001 and was named CEO in January of 2004.  As head of WTA he directed planning and environmental studies for regional ferry service and when he resigned was poised to helm the WETA with its expanded mandate for regional emergency preparedness.  His easygoing manner and effective leadership will be missed.
