The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) announced new leadership for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

On Friday, March 7, Adrienne Camire was tapped for role of Deputy Administrator and Acting Administrator of the FMCSA.

“In this role, Ms. Camire will lead FMCSA’s efforts to advance commercial motor vehicle safety, improve the efficiency of the nation’s freight and passenger transportation systems, and restore common sense principles to regulatory oversight,” the FMCSA said in a press release.

“I am pleased to welcome Adrienne Camire as Acting Administrator of FMCSA,” said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean P. Duffy. “Ms. Camire is a dedicated leader who brings executive experience, vision, and a strong commitment to safety. I have no doubt FMCSA will continue to make our roads safer and keep America moving under her leadership.”

Camire has a B.A. in Economics and Political Science from Brandeis University and a J.D. from Suffolk University Law School. She previously worked at USDOT as Chief Counsel of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) overseeing all legal services with respect to FHWA’s management of the Federal-aid highway program, according to the FMCSA.

“Thank you to President Trump and Secretary Duffy for their confidence in me to serve in this role,” said Camire. “I am honored to lead FMCSA in its mission to prevent commercial motor vehicle crashes, fatalities, and injuries on our Nation’s roads. I look forward to working closely with all stakeholders to advance our shared safety goals.”
