His 28 years of military service includes both active and reserve duty including four overseas deployments

“Frank Hoare has been keeping millions of New Yorkers moving on the Thruway since his first day on the job,” Governor Hochul said. “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.”

Thruway Authority Executive Director Frank G. Hoare said, “As a lifelong New Yorker born and raised in Washington Heights to immigrant parents, it is a true honor to be nominated by Governor Hochul and confirmed by the Senate to serve as the Executive Director of the NYS Thruway Authority. I am humbled to be nominated to lead the almost 1,800 professional and hard-working employees of the Thruway Authority, and I am grateful for this opportunity to continue to proudly serve the State of New York.”
