On August 2, the Senate confirmed Marc Molinaro as the 16th Administrator of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). You may recall, AGC supported his nomination and previously reported on his confirmation hearing.
As a former U.S. Representative for New York’s 19th Congressional District, Molinaro brings a decades-long record of public service and infrastructure advocacy to the role. Molinaro has been serving as a senior advisor to Transportation Secretary Dean Duffy since his nomination was approved by the Senate Banking Committee in April. In announcing the confirmation, Secretary Duffy praised Molinaro’s leadership, experience, and commitment to “Making Transit Safe Again.”
As FTA Administrator, Molinaro will be responsible for overseeing federal investments in public transportation and leading efforts to ensure safe, clean, and reliable transit options nationwide. As Surface Transportation reauthorization discussions advance, Molinaro will play a major role in shaping national transit policy, administering federal grant dollars to projects, and guiding infrastructure investment as the public face of the FTA.
“I am committed to supporting our nation’s public transportation systems and ensuring a safer, more accessible, and better-connected America,” Molinaro said following his confirmation.
