Szabo to Step Down as FRA Administrator

Joseph C. Szabo, administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration since 2009, has announced his plans to leave that post at the end of the year. Effective Jan. 1, 2015, he is joining the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning as a senior fellow.

APTA President & CEO Michael Melaniphy released the following statement:

"Joseph Szabo has been an outstanding administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration and has championed many issues critical to the commuter railroad industry. Because of him, our industry is safer. As a fifth-generation railroader, he has put safety first in all his policies and initiatives related to commuter rail and has been a strong and fervent supporter for high-speed and intercity rail.

"Joe Szabo has also been very accessible to the industry, participating in many meetings and conferences. On behalf of the 1,500 member organizations of the American Public Transportation Association, we thank him for his exemplary service to the citizens of the United States and wish him well in his new endeavors."
