Isaac Thorne will be Knoxville’s new director of transit, effective Aug. 31. Thorne is currently the chief executive officer for Connect Transit in Normal, Illinois. “Isaac has a winning track record in the transit industry,” Mayor Indya Kincannon said. “He is an innovative leader who never loses sight that public transit is a customer-focused service. Thorne succeeds Transit Director Dawn Distler, who left in 2018 to direct a larger regional transit system in Akron, Ohio, and interim director Melissa Roberson, who will return to her position as KAT’s chief administrative officer.
