Governor Jennifer M. Granholm today announced the appointment of former State
Representative Patricia Lockwood as Transportation Commission Advisor.
“Michigan citizens and the Department of Transportation will benefit
greatly from Pat’s energy and enthusiasm,” Granholm said. “Her
years of experience in the Legislature and in local government will be invaluable
as we move Michigan forward.”
While serving as a state representative, Lockwood was as a member of the House
Appropriations Committee Subcommittees responsible for Capital Outlay, Retirement,
and Transportation. She also served as the Minority Vice-Chair of the subcommittees
for Consumer and Industry Services, History Arts and Libraries, Michigan Economic
Development Corporation, Department of Career Development, and the Michigan
Strategic Fund.
Lockwood resides in Fenton where she served as Mayor from 1989 to 1998. She
is past president of the Genesee County cities and villages organization and
the Flint Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.
In her new position, Lockwood will report to the chairman of the six-member
State Transportation Commission and will assist the commission in fulfilling
its constitutional and statutory duties. She will supervise, coordinate, and
serve as a liaison for all commission activities, including the development,
formulation, and evaluation of policies, programs, and legislation.
