(FORT WORTH, TEXAS) Jan. 16, 2026 — Trinity Metro is pleased to announce the hiring of Mike Brennan as the agency’s new Vice President of Economic Development.

Most recently serving as President of Near Southside, Inc., he has a wide array of experience in public/private development partnerships and capital improvement projects. Near Southside’s most visible signs of growth and progress are new construction projects of all types, each shaped by the award-winning form-based development code authored and spearheaded by Brennan upon joining the organization in 2006, following six years with the City of Fort Worth’s Planning Department.

At Trinity Metro, Brennan will plan, direct and manage Trinity Metro’s economic development activities, including advancing economic growth and maximizing the value of real estate assets. He will work closely with the business community, developers, property owners, and other stakeholders to implement the agency’s economic development goals and objectives.

“We are pleased to welcome Mike to Trinity Metro,” said President & CEO Richard Andreski. “He brings pioneering leadership in economic development and is widely respected by our Fort Worth community. Mike will be a key strategic leader as we unlock the full potential of transit-oriented development to drive regional growth, strengthen communities, and maximize the long-term value of our transit investments.” 

“The secret sauce for any community is quality economic development,” said Trinity Metro Board Chair Jeff Davis. “Mike has decades of experience and achievements in this arena, and he has the respect of everyone he has ever worked with. We are so pleased to have him as a team member.”

Brennan is looking forward to joining the team.

“I feel great about the next era of leadership at Near Southside, Inc., and I am extremely excited about this opportunity with Trinity Metro,” Brennan said. “We have such great potential around Trinity Metro’s stations. So many people wish to live or work in close proximity to convenient transit. Meeting that demand always requires collaboration among private and public sector partners, and I look forward to that work. I’m honored to join this wonderful Trinity Metro team and excited to collaborate with communities in station areas to pursue great projects.”

Brennan earned a bachelor’s degree from Vanderbilt University, a Master in Urban Planning from Harvard University Graduate School of Design, and is a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners.

Fort Worth ISD and Trinity Metro officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding yesterday at I.M. Terrell Academy, marking the launch of a new pilot program that will allow FWISD high school students to ride Trinity Metro bus and rail services for free.

The new partnership is designed to increase safe, reliable transportation options for students, supporting their ability to travel to and from school, extracurricular activities, jobs, internships, and other essential destinations across the city.

The signing event featured remarks from FWISD Superintendent Dr. Karen Molinar, Trinity Metro President and CEO Richard Andreski, and I.M. Terrell Principal Baldwin Brown, who each highlighted the importance of the program for student access and opportunity.

“This partnership is a tremendous step forward for our students,” said Molinar. “We are deeply grateful to Trinity Metro for helping us open more doors for the young people of Fort Worth ISD. Our students are not only learners, they are citizens of this community. Providing them with expanded access to transportation gives them greater connection to all that Fort Worth has to offer, from educational opportunities to work, arts, and civic life.”

Andreski emphasized the shared commitment to student success. “Our partnership with FWISD gives students additional transportation options, supports student learning and academic success. We are proud to join Dr. Molinar in this pilot program that will allow even more students to participate in after school activities and seek internship and employment opportunities,” he said. “This partnership is proof positive that Trinity Metro is connecting people to life across Fort Worth.”
