Floun’say Caver, Ph.D.

A native of East Cleveland, Dr. Floun’say R. Caver began his transit career as an intern at the Greater Cleveland RTA while a graduate student at Cleveland State University’s College of Urban Affairs. From there he would pursue his Ph.D. in public affairs from the University of Texas at Dallas. After a year teaching at the university, Dr. Caver returned to Cleveland and the RTA as the manager of budgets and eventually worked his way up to become the director of service quality management.

At GCRTA, Dr. Caver has created the TransitStat program to monitor the entire system’s performance. The TransitStat program has resulted in savings of more than $2.5 million and performance improvements across the agency. Dr. Caver also worked as the sole RTA staffer assigned to work with seven consultants as part of a rail performance assessment. Not one to not get his hands dirty, Dr. Caver even pitched in to help clean the RTA storeroom and was caught on camera covered in dust with a facemask on!
