New President for HRT

Hampton Roads Transit in Hampton, VA, announced Philip A. Shucet, a former commissioner of Virginia DOT, as its president and chief executive officer. He succeeds Michael Townes, who stepped down from the post.

When Shucet took over Virginia DOT in 2001, one in every five construction projects was behind schedule and more than half were over budget. By the end of his tenure in 2005, he had won widespread praise for imposing stronger business practices that reversed the department’s management deficiencies.

He also worked for the West Virginia Department of Highways, Arizona DOT, and in private industry.
