Former GOP Rep. Molinaro Picked as Transit Chief

President Donald Trump will nominate former Republican Rep. Marc Molinaro, an outspoken opponent of congestion pricing, to lead the Federal Transit Administration, according to sources familiar with the discussions.

Although no official announcement has been made, Molinaro would report to Secretary of Transportation nominee Sean Duffy, who is expected to be officially confirmed this week. The FTA, part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, oversees the mass transit systems around the U.S. and controls about $20 billion a year in grant funding.
