The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) announced that executive director Therese W. McMillan (who jointly leads the Association of Bay Area Governments) will retire effective January 31, 2023. “After more than three decades of exceptional public service spanning local, regional and federal roles, including four years guiding both MTC and ABAG through some of the most difficult challenges ever to face the Bay Area, Therese has established an undisputed record of effective and committed leadership,” commented board chair Alfredo Pedroza. McMillan was an MTC staffer for 25 years before she left to accept senior positions at USDOT and the LA Metro. She rejoined MTC in 2019. The agency said it will provide details on the process for recruiting a new executive director as soon as they are available.
