Timeline
On April 11, 2019, Crunican announced her retirement from BART effective July 6, 2019.
Crunican oversaw replacement of the BART train seats to vinyl ones that were more hygienic and easy to clean, and the award of a contract to Bombardier Transportation in 2012 for the delivery of new train cars. During her tenure, BART opened the Oakland International Airport station and Warm Springs/South Fremont station.
On April 13, 2011, BART announced that General Manager Dorothy Dugger was quitting with extra compensation of $958,000 (severance of $600,000 and extra compensation of $350,000 for a smooth transition), and BART was beginning the search for a replacement. Dugger's last day at work would be April 22, 2011.
Crunican was formally appointed as General Manager on August 31, 2011. Her initial salary was $300,000. Crunican got a $20,000 raise in annual salary six months later.
Despite considerable dissatisfaction at Crunican, Mayor Greg Nickels refused to fire her, citing her overall positive track record including her work on Bridging the Gap, a sentiment echoed by other Crunican supporters, and one he would continue to voice over the years. However, shortly after the mayor's job was turned over to Mike McGinn, Crunican announced on December 28, 2009 that she was resigning and would start her own consulting company.
In 2008, due to a series of heavy snowstorms, Seattle's transportation was paralyzed for a few days, and Crunican's inadequate response to the snowstorm was criticized. Among other things, her decision to use sand instead of salt to clear out the accumulated snow (to limit environmental damage to the Bay) was implicated as a reason for the snow not being cleared out quickly enough. Crunican was also criticized for going on vacation while the snow had not cleared out, and for failing to take responsibility and lacking a customer service mindset.
Crunican began serving as the Director of the Seattle Department of Transportation (serving the Seattle metropolitan area) in 2002, becoming the second person to serve in that role. The Seattle Department of Transportation had been created in 1997 with the name Seattle Transportation Department, and Crunican replaced outgoing director Daryl Grigsby. While there, Crunican implemented Bridging the Gap (a transportation maintenance levy) and the Transit Master Plan (Seattle Connections, Bike Master Plan, Freight Mobility Strategic Plan, and Pedestrian Master Plan), the latter with the goal of helping Seattle achieve the U.S. Kyoto Protocol goals.
Crunican announced her resignation abruptly in January 2001. Her salary at the time of resignation was $118,000. Crunican's resignation came on the heels of two other state agency director resignations, but a spokesman for Governor John Kitzhaber said that the spate of resignations was coincidental and not part of a purge. Crunican's work was praised by Republican state representative Bruce Starr, of Aloha, who expressed surprise at her resignation, as well as by Gary George, the Senate Transportation Committee chairman who had previously been critical of ODOT. Her resignation was effective February 28, 2001.
In 1999, as ODOT Director, Crunican ordered the formation of "Project Time Team" to cut turnaround time for highway construction projects to 18 months between acceptance of project by city/county and release of advertising for contractor bids.
Crunican began serving as director of the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) in May 1996 under Governor John Kitzhaber, and was the first female to serve in that role.
Crunican served as Deputy Administrator at the Federal Transit Administration (united the United States Department of Transportation) from 1993 to 1996, under the presidency of Bill Clinton. While in that role, Crunican negotiated 13 New Start Rail projects worth $3 billion. She also testified twice to the Railroad Safety Committee while in the role.
After working at the Portland Bureau of Transportation, Crunican became the Director of the Surface Transportation Policy Project, a nonprofit coalition dedicated to implementing the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991.
Her first transportation-related appointment was in 1979 to the Presidential Management Intern Program (now Presidential Management Fellows Program) for the U.S. Department of Transportation. She then served as a Professional Staffer for the Senate Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee. Among other things, she managed TriMet's request for a vintage trolley and downtown street additions in the Portland metropolitan area, Oregon.
Crunican began her career in policy in the 1970s in Washington, D.C.
Grace Crunican (born 1955) is a mass transportation specialist who most recently served as General Manager of the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) District.
