Nathaniel Ford, the (infamous?) San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency chief, plans on leaving his job later this month. The Chronicle, who broke the news, reports: "The governing board will meet in closed session Tuesday to terminate Ford's contract. Ford has scheduled a meeting this afternoon with his top tier of managers to discuss his looming departure. An agency-wide letter to staff members will go out after that."

The departure is said to have been mutual between Ford and the agency's governing board.

No word yet on who will replace Ford.
