On March 27, former Congressman Marc Molinaro (R-NY) appeared before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs for his confirmation hearing to lead the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). During his testimony, Molinaro emphasized a commitment to enhancing transportation safety, modernizing infrastructure, and spur economic development.
Molinaro highlighted the need to address transit reliability concerns and stressed the importance of innovation, technology, and streamlining the permitting process to make it happen. Throughout Molinaro’s public service, his focus on individuals with disabilities has been at the forefront. It was the same during his hearing, where he testified that he is committed to universal accessibility and ensuring that the FTA works toward making transit accessible for all.
Looking toward the future, Molinaro expressed enthusiasm for working to rebuild our infrastructure and to help build transit systems that deliver for everyone.
