Official Statement - TTC Chair Jamaal Myers on Appointment of TTC CEO

I am pleased to announce that Mandeep Lali has been appointed the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Toronto Transit Commission, effective July 7, 2025. In this role, Mandeep will help guide the Commission as we continue our work to make the TTC the safest and most reliable system possible.

Mandeep joins us from New York’s MTA where he has served as an executive VP and Chief Operating Officer for subways for nearly three years.

Prior to that he spent more than 13 years at Transport for London in a number of progressive roles and nearly seven years as an executive with OTIS elevators working on the Crossrail project with TFL.

This permanent appointment gives us a unique opportunity to fundamentally reset our relationship with our customers, employees and the broader City Region and grow ridership.

Please join me in welcoming Mandeep to the TTC, and I know you will all help support him as we navigate this transition.

As Mandeep begins his new role, I am confident that he is in good hands with each of you as a collective executive team by his side.  

Finally, I would like to thank Interim CEO Greg Percy for his commitment to the TTC over the past nine months and for assisting during this important period of transition.
