Nathaniel P. Ford Sr. is an award-winning transportation expert and leading advocate for how autonomous vehicles (AV) and other advances can be used to improve the quality of life for travelers throughout the nation.

Those positions gave Ford the distinction of ushering in industry firsts 鈥� the first 100% transit smart card and multimillion dollar transit-oriented development at MARTA, and the first real-time smart parking app and oversight of a regional authority spearheading a multibillion development in San Francisco, to name a few.

Ford has participated in study missions to Australia, Canada, China, England, France, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Sweden to provide consultation and advice about transportation policy, management, and sustainable infrastructure development. His global perspective has enhanced his value to corporate boards and commissions that often seek his input.

In recognition of his wisdom and outstanding leadership, Ford received the Honorable Ray LaHood Award from the Women鈥檚 Transportation Seminar of Northeast Florida in 2022. He was named the 鈥�2020 Outstanding Public Transportation Manager鈥� by APTA. In 2019, he was inducted as a 鈥淭hought Leader鈥� by the Eno Center for Transportation, and in 2016, Ford was named a 鈥淲hite House Champion of Change in Transportation鈥� by the US Department of Transportation for embracing innovations and improving the quality of all modes of transit.

Ford has an MBA from 探花族鈥檚 Davis School of Business. He also has a Bachelor鈥檚 degree in Applied Science in organizational leadership from Mercer University, and is a certified Master Executive Coach.
