Tam T. Nguyen Reappointed as OCTA Public Board Member

OCTA reappointed Orange County small-business owner Tam T. Nguyen to serve as one of two public members on the board.

Nguyen, a Fountain Valley resident, has served in this role since 2021, and his reappointment will extend his tenure through 2029. Nguyen served as the OCTA Board Chair in 2024.

“I am truly honored and grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the residents of Orange County as a public member on the OCTA Board for another four years,” Nguyen said. “OCTA makes a positive impact on the lives of everyone in our communities by improving mobility, increasing accessibility, and being responsible stewards of public funds. I look forward to the privilege of working alongside my fellow board members to continue building a transportation system that supports economic growth and sustainability.”

The other appointed public member is businessman Michael Hennessey, whose current term lasts until October 2027. Public members serve four-year terms and are eligible for reappointment to additional terms.
