Adrienne CamireUS DOT
Camire's appointment was announced by the Department of Transportation March 7, and today, March 21, all traces of her are gone from the FMCSA website. She is gone from the site's Leadership page, and the news release announcing her appointment is gone.
Camire previously served as chief counsel to the Federal Highway Administration during President Donald Trump’s first term. She has some 20 years of legal and regulatory experience.
The FMCSA has had trouble keeping anyone in its top leadership position. Since the end of President Barack Obama's second term there have been only two administrators confirm by the Senate and installed as the agency's administrator: Ray Martinez and Robin Huitcheson, both of whom stepped down from the position. There have been several acting administrators including Meera Joshi, Sue Lawless, and Vin. White.
In announcing Camire's appointment, DOT Secretary Sean Duffy said, "“I am pleased to welcome Adrienne Camire as Acting Administrator of FMCSA. 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.”
Truckers News has reached out to the FMCSA for comment but has not yet heard back.
