After a long and exceptional career with the BC government, Fran will be retiring from the BC Public Service at the end of 2024. As the Deputy Superintendent of Motor Vehicles with RoadSafetyBC, Fran has represented British Columbia on the CCMTA Program Committee on Drivers and Vehicles. Fran’s knowledge, guidance and expertise on key road safety files have been invaluable to moving the work of the D&V Committee forward. Fran’s dedication and collaborative spirit will be greatly missed by the D&V team. While her presence and contributions will be missed, we wish her the very best on her well-earned retirement. 

Kelli Penney will be shifting roles within the NL Government and will no longer be the Registrar of Motor Vehicles in NL as of November 6, 2024. Kelli has represented Newfoundland and Labrador on the CCMTA Board of Directors for seven years. During her time with CCMTA, Kelli has served as both the Chair of the Board from 2022-2023 and Chair of Governance Committee, as well as a member of the Executive Committee and the Strategic Programs Committee, just to name a few.   

Her insightful leadership, dedication, and commitment has resulted in significant contributions both to CCMTA and the broader road safety community. She will be missed, and we wish her much success as she embarks in the next phase of her career.

Allison Fradette was recognized and celebrated for her tremendous leadership and engagement as President and CEO of CCMTA upon announcing her plans to transition to retirement in the coming months. During her tenure, Allison has worked closely with the Board of Directors and stakeholders to lead critical road safety initiatives and create platforms for dialogue and collaboration amongst member jurisdictions and stakeholders. We are deeply grateful for her strategic leadership and the invaluable contributions she has made to CCMTA over her 14 year tenure. 

After more than 27 years of service at CCMTA, Rick Vantour has announced his plans to retire in late 2024.  During his tenure, Rick has worked on a multitude of initiatives at CCMTA. One of the most significant contributions Rick has made to CCMTA and to Road Safety in Canada is in his role contributing to the development and evolution of the Inter-Provincial Record Exchange (IRE) network. His extensive jurisdictional knowledge and work to ensure jurisdictions have the best support and experience on the IRE network will be missed. We wish Rick all the best in this next chapter.
