Joint Maritime
Academy Luncheon
January 27, 2011
John D. Porcari
became Deputy Secretary of Transportation on June 1, 2009.
As Deputy Secretary,
Porcari serves as the Department’s chief operating officer with responsibility for the
day-to-day operations of 10 modal administrations and the work of more than
55,000 DOT employees nationwide and overseas.
Before becoming
Deputy Secretary, Porcari had served as Secretary of the Maryland Department of
Transportation since January 2007, a position he also held between 1999 and
2003. The Maryland Department of Transportation is built on the U.S. DOT model,
encompassing responsibilities for transit, highways, ports, aviation, toll
authority and motor vehicles. His accomplishments in that position include
transforming the state’s capital program for
transportation to require all projects to be consistent with the principles of
smart growth, overseeing the $1.4 billion expansion of Baltimore/Washington
International Thurgood Marshall Airport, a plan to double transit ridership in
the state by 2020, and a strategic plan for maritime commerce that resulted in
contracts with long-term minimum tonnage guarantees at the Port of Baltimore.
Between 2003 and 2007
Porcari served as vice president for administrative affairs at the University
of Maryland, College Park. He previously served as Deputy Secretary of
Transportation for Maryland and as Assistant Secretary for Economic Development
Policy at the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development. Prior
to his positions in the state government, he served as vice president of a
civil engineering and land use consulting firm.
