McMillan Receives Distinguished Alumni Award from UC-Berkeley

The University of California-Berkeley’s College of Environmental Design (CED) honored Therese W. McMillan, deputy administrator of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), with the 2011 Distinguished Alumni Award. The annual award, presented March 4, recognizes alumni for outstanding professional, social, academic, artistic, or other achievements at the local, national, or international level.

Before joining FTA in July 2009, McMillan worked for the San Francisco Bay Area Region’s Metropolitan Transportation Commission in Oakland, CA.

McMillan majored in environmental policy analysis and planning as an undergraduate and pursued graduate studies at Berkeley’s CED, becoming a member of the first graduating class for the dual master’s program in transportation (receiving an M.S. in civil engineering science and a Master of City Planning degree).  She was a member of the CED alumni board from 2005 to 2009, serving as both vice chair and chair.

“I congratulate Therese on receiving the Distinguished Alumni Award, and for her lifetime achievements in the transportation industry,” said Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. “We are fortunate to have her at the department, and her appointment as deputy administrator is a testimony to the caliber and expertise of those who serve in the Obama administration.”

“Therese brings a keen ability to assess, analyze, and improve the way FTA does business,” said Administrator Peter Rogoff. “She has been instrumental in strengthening FTA’s civil rights and program oversight, and leading our effort to build smarter, more livable communities that better connect people with the places they need to go. Therese is an invaluable asset to the FTA and we are proud of this recognition of her achievement.”
