Marc Molinaro, a former Republican congressman from New York and a vocal opponent of congestion pricing, is being considered for the role of administrator of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), sources familiar with the discussions have revealed. The FTA, a key division of the U.S. Department of Transportation, oversees public transit systems nationwide and manages billions in federal grants annually.
While no official announcement has been made, Molinaro’s potential appointment would align him closely with top officials in the Department of Transportation, influencing decisions on transit funding and policies. His nomination is expected to follow the Senate’s review of Sean Duffy, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the department.
