Jamey M. Federico has been unanimously selected by the OCTA Board to serve as Chair. Federico, who serves as a Dana Point council member, replaces outgoing Chair Doug Chaffee, who remains on the OCTA Board as Orange County’s Fourth District Supervisor.
“I am grateful to my colleagues on the Board for showing confidence in me and allowing me the opportunity to serve as Chair of the OCTA Board,” Chair Federico said. “I look forward to working together to deliver transportation solutions that improve the way people move, enhance safety and support the economic vitality of Orange County.”
Federico has served on the OCTA Board since January 2023. He has been an active voice in advancing policies that emphasize accountability, fiscal responsibility and multimodal transportation options for residents, commuters and visitors alike.
As Chair, Federico will help guide OCTA’s efforts to expand transportation choices, reduce congestion and continue delivering projects that keep Orange County moving efficiently and safely.
The OCTA Board also appointed Director Fred Jung, mayor of Fullerton, as Vice Chair. In addition, the Board welcomed new Director Lauren Kleiman, who is also mayor of Newport Beach, and administered oaths of office for new terms to returning directors Valerie Amezcua, mayor of Santa Ana; Stephanie Klopfenstein, mayor of Garden Grove; Carlos Leon, Anaheim council member; and Mark Tettemer, Lake Forest council member.
