The National Drug and Alcohol Screening Association (NDASA) is pleased to congratulate Doug Simon on being named the new director of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Office of Drug and Alcohol Policy Compliance (ODAPC).
Mr. Simon joined the office earlier this month after serving four years as the Florida Director of the Office of Drug Control, where he was tasked with implementing the governor’s drug control policies across all Florida agencies.
He has 12 years of federal government experience across multiple administrations, including at the U.S. Department of Education and a prior stop at U.S. DOT. He also served for four years at the Office of National Drug Control Policy as Director of State and Local Affairs and White House Liaison. At ONDCP, he co-authored the Ryan Haight Online Pharmacy Consumer Protection Act and helped implement the President’s random student drug testing program.
Mr. Simon grew up in Land O’ Lakes, Florida and is a graduate of the University of South Florida. He resides in Alexandria, Virginia, with his wife and four children.
NDASA looks forward to working with Mr. Simon on policies supporting drug-free workplaces and community safety through the highest standards in drug and alcohol testing and compliance.
