WEST CHESTER, PA — The Chester County Commissioners this week appointed Gene Suski as the new Director of the county’s Community Transit Department, also known as Chesco Connect.
Suski brings with him a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the county’s public transportation landscape. Having served Chester County since 1998 in various roles, his most recent position was Community Services and Construction Manager for the Department of Community Development.
The Commissioners—Josh Maxwell, Marian Moskowitz, and Eric Roe—expressed their full confidence in Suski’s capabilities. “Gene’s experience with and knowledge of the Community Transit programs when it was Rover make him highly qualified to manage Chesco Connect,” they said in a joint statement. “He has worked with all levels of community transportation, including with the Transportation Management Association of Chester County, SEPTA, and the PA Department of Transportation.”
Chesco Connect plays a vital role in the day-to-day lives of Chester County residents, offering door-to-door shared-ride transportation to essential locations such as medical appointments, workplaces, grocery stores, pharmacies, and senior centers.
Department of Human Services Director Pat Bokovitz echoed the Commissioners’ sentiments, noting, “Gene’s career with Chester County has been spent serving the community, and his new role with Chesco Connect is no different. He will ensure that safe, timely, and convenient transportation is available to anyone who needs it.”
Suski, a graduate of Widener University and a veteran of the Pennsylvania National Guard, now takes the helm at a crucial time. As the new Director of Chesco Connect, he will be tasked with not only maintaining but enhancing the quality and accessibility of transportation services for the county’s residents.
This appointment comes at a pivotal moment for public transportation in Chester County. As the region continues to grow and evolve, so too do the transportation needs of its residents. With Suski’s leadership, the county is well-positioned to meet these challenges head-on, ensuring that all residents have access to safe, reliable, and convenient transportation options.
In short, while the title has changed, the mission remains the same: to serve the community and keep Chester County moving. With Gene Suski at the helm, Chesco Connect is poised to do just that.
