We’re celebrating a milestone nearly half a century in the making!
Last week, we took time to celebrate Tommy Fields. After an amazing 48 years with RMTA, Tommy is retiring and beginning an exciting new chapter.
Did you know that in 1978 when Tommy started with RMTA, the average price of gas was around 63 cents a gallon and the average cost of a new Ford Mustang Coupe was $3,824?
Fast forward 48 years, and a lot has changed, but Tommy’s dedication to RMTA has remained constant. He began his career as a toll collection attendant and worked his way up to toll supervisor—a remarkable journey built on strong leadership and commitment. And we are incredibly grateful for everything Tommy has contributed to our Authority over nearly five decades.
Congratulations, Tommy, on a well-deserved retirement! Thank you for 48 years of service, dedication and commitment. We wish you all the best in your exciting next chapter—you will be missed!
