The New York State Senate on Monday confirmed Frank Hoare as the new Executive Director of the New York State Thruway Authority. His career has included both state government service and private practice. He is also a veteran who served as a Judge Advocate in the U.S. Army Reserves for 28 years. Governor Kathy Hochul recommended Hoare, who was approved by the NYSTA Board of Directors as Acting Executive Director in September 2023. Hoare served as Interim Executive Director from December 2022 through September 2023.
Hochul says, "Frank Hoare has been keeping millions of New Yorkers moving on the Thruway since his first day on the job. From working alongside state and local partners battling historic storms, to investing millions of toll dollars into revitalizing our infrastructure, he has demonstrated a strong commitment to keeping New Yorkers safe. I am confident he will continue to be an exemplary leader for the Thruway Authority."
