State Transportation Officials Congratulate Obama on Mayor Foxx Nomination

The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials congratulates President Obama on his nomination of Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx to be the next U.S. Transportation Secretary.

“The nation’s state departments of transportation — the owners and operators of the national highway system and the leaders in innovative transportation solutions — look forward to working with Mayor Foxx on the important transportation issues facing the nation and on identifying a long-term sustainable transportation funding source,” said Bud Wright, AASHTO executive director. “AASHTO also wishes Secretary LaHood the very best. His leadership was instrumental to the successful implementation of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, passage of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), and improved national transportation safety.”
