Peterson to Head Washington State DOT

Lynn Peterson, a former planning manager with Portland’s Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon, has been named secretary of Washington State DOT by Washington Gov. Jay Inslee.

“We need an innovative approach to fixing a transportation network that is outdated and hampering our economic growth,” Inslee said in a statement. “Lynn has the experience, creativity, and leadership skills to help Washington build a transportation system for the 21st century.”

Peterson chaired the Clackamas County (OR) Board of Commissioners until 2011, when she resigned to become advisor on sustainability and transportation to Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber. Earlier, she was a transportation consultant and a transportation planner at Metro, the Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Portland region.
