U.S. FHWA trucking administrator Reagle reassigned
WASHINGTON, D.C. — George Reagle, associate administrator for motor carriers at the U.S. Federal Highway Administration, has been reassigned to another position within the agency, according to a RoadStar Online report.
Fuelled by an extended absence from the job, rumors have been swirling in Washington for weeks that Reagle would resign or be reassigned away from the Office of Motor Carriers, which oversees federal trucking regulation in the U.S.
The OMC is restructuring its various divisions amid scrutiny that it is too heavily influenced by trucking industry lobbyists. It withdrew from a high-profile commercial vehicle safety summit last month after safety groups complained about not having enough representation at the event.
Reagle has been replaced by Julie Anna Cirillo, a former FHWA regional administrator based in San Francisco.
He has accepted a new position as senior advisor to Federal Highway Administrator Kenneth Wyckle on safety, trade, and other motor carrier issues.
