APTA Supports Molinaro as FTA Administrator
3/20/2025
APTA sent a letter Chairman Tim Scott (R-SC) and Ranking Member Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, March 20, expressing strong support for the nomination of Marcus Molinaro to serve as FTA Administrator. In February, APTA issued a release congratulating Mr. Molinaro on his nomination.
The letter cites Molinaro’s “extensive career in public service to both his home state of New York and to the U.S.” Most recently, he represented New York’s 19th District in the 118th Congress, in which “he served on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, where he authored and supported several bills focused on investing in public transportation, advocating for individuals with disabilities, and establishing safety requirements for rail carriers.”
APTA states that, “Mr. Molinaro knows firsthand the importance of public transportation and its incredible economic impact… New York is also home to key public transit industry manufacturers, suppliers, and design and engineering services. In total, the public transit industry directly employs more than 150,000 public- and private-sector workers in New York.”
We look forward to working with Mr. Molinaro to drive economic growth, create American manufacturing jobs, and build stronger communities through public transportation.
