Meet the Director
Lowell M. Porter was appointed Director of the Washington Traffic Safety
Commission on March 1, 2005, by Governor Christine Gregoire. Porter began
his career with the Patrol in 1980 and rose up through the ranks to become
Chief at age 47, replacing Ron Serpas in 2004.
Prior to his appointment as Chief, he headed the Patrol's Field Operations Bureau which includes management of over 900 uniformed officers, security for the Washington State ferries, the aviation section and the Governor's executive protection unit. Porter is a graduate of the 195th session of the FBI National Academy.
Porter is a graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School in Tacoma and lives in Gig Harbor with his wife and five children.
"We are lucky to have a person of his experience and caliber directing the Washington Traffic Safety Commission. The entire traffic safety community will benefit from his enthusiasm and dedication to the mission," said Steve Lind, acting director of the Commission since 2003.
