Linda Morris is the Chief of Service Planning, Scheduling and Amenities in the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) for Miami-Dade County.  She has over 20 years of transportation and urban planning experience in the United Kingdom, California, and Miami. She joined Miami-Dade County in 2020 and was tasked with implementing the Better Bus Network; a re-imagined bus network for the County, which created a high-frequency grid network of routes and greater accessibility in high-demand areas. After a year of implementation, ridership has grown eight percent and is on track to be one of the most successful redesigns in the nation.  Prior to joining the Miami team, she was a Senior Planner at the Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit) in Oakland, California for nearly 14 years. Here she managed the Transbay Express service from the East Bay to San Francisco, and led the multi-agency operational transition into the new billion dollar Salesforce Transit Center in Downtown San Francisco. She also led the pilot and implementation of a double decker bus fleet to support express bus ridership.  Linda graduated from the London School of Economics with a B.A. in Geography and is a certified APA planner (AICP). She’s also a keen urban cyclist adjusting to cycling around in the Miami weather with a kid in tow.
