Rogoff, Sound Transit
 Peter Rogoff, DOT undersecretary for policy and former FTA administrator, is joining Sound Transit in Seattle as its new chief executive officer, effective in January.
Current Sound Transit CEO Joni Earl has been on medical leave since 2014 and will retire in March following the opening of the University Link light rail line. Deputy CEO Mike Harbour, who did not apply for the CEO position, will continue to serve as acting CEO until Rogoff’s arrival.
In his current post, Rogoff is the third highest ranking official at DOT. Before his appointment to FTA in 2009, he served for 22 years on the staff of the Senate Appropriations Committee, including 14 years as the Democratic staff director of the Transportation Subcommittee, led by the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) and Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA)..
