4 December 2005 - 5:00am

The top candidate to run San Francisco's Municipal Transportation Agency would make $322,450 per year, slightly less than the national average.

"Nathaniel Ford Sr., a former manager at BART who has run the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority for the past five years, is the MTA directors' top pick for the San Francisco post.

...If the contract is approved next week as expected, Ford's total compensation package would come in at $322,450 a year -- slightly less than the pay by comparable transit agencies in California and about $25,000 less than the national average, according to analysis commissioned by City Controller Ed Harrington."
