Former BTD commissioner to get even bigger job as Massachusetts transportation secretary

By adamg on Fri, 12/23/2022 - 10:26am

Incoming Gov. Healey announced today she will appoint former BTD Commissioner Gina Fiandaca as secretary of transportation once she's in office.

Fiandaca rose from a clerk in BTD to become commissioner in 2015. In 2019, she left for a job as assistant city manager in Austin, TX, where she oversaw creation of a $7.1-billion program to build a light-rail system, as well as the city's airport and water system.

Joining her as undersecretary of transportation will be Monica G. Tibbits-Nutt, currently executive director of the 128 Business Council.

So MDOT will be as functional as BTD now? Great news.

to Monica G. Tibbits-Nutt bringing her knowledge and skillset and belief that all transportation entities need to work together to better transportation - Public Transportation - in Massachusetts. And not just Boston - all of Massachusetts.

Things not exactly going swimmingly for light rail down in Austin.

It’s not all that impressive a record for Fiandaca all things considered. And MassDOT is a behemoth
