Congratulations to my good friend Marc Molinaro on his confirmation as Federal Transportation Administrator! I have served on the Chemung County Transit Board for the past 16 years and the FTA is one of the overseers of our public transit operation. I look forward to working with Marc as the new FTA Administrator.
The U.S. Department of Transportation today announced Marcus J. Molinaro has been confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the 16th Administrator of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). He was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on August 02, 2025.
“I applaud the U.S. Senate for confirming Administrator Molinaro earlier today. Marc’s leadership, experience, and commitment to Making Transit Safe Again will be a strong asset to the Department,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. “I am confident Administrator Molinaro will help usher in the golden age of transit helping our transit partners maintain safe and clean systems that move American families forward.”
“I am grateful to President Trump for placing his trust in me, and to Secretary Duffy for his confidence in my leadership,” said FTA Administrator Molinaro. “I am committed to supporting our nation’s public transportation systems and ensuring a safer, more accessible, and better-connected America.”
