SEATTLE - Secretary of Transportation Paula Hammond commented today on the resignation of Sam Kuntz, Ferries Division Director of Finance and Administration.
"Sam has served the ferries well over the five years he has been with WSDOT and we wish him well," said Hammond. "He has been focused the last two years exclusively on launching the new electronic fare system and serving on the Smart Card implementation board."
Kuntz will complete his tenure at the Ferries Division March 1 to pursue other vocational interests and to spend more time with his family. Activities around filling the position will begin after David Moseley, Assistant Secretary for Ferries Division, starts in March.
"We are committed to bringing the Ferries Division more into alignment with WSDOT business practices and that includes an evaluation and reorganization of ferries management and organizational structures," said Secretary Hammond.
