Grey Davis (his name escapes me right now) would be an excellent choice. Only problem he is a Democrat. But he had rail experience before ocming to Caltrans and Caltrans is responsible for an extensive rail sytem. He was doing at Caltrans what is needed at ConnDOT. Also the right peron may not be from another DOT. The Caltrans Commissioner (California’s DOT) under Gov. Grey Davis (his name escapes me right now) would be an excellent choice.

He was responsive to everything the Commuter Council asked of him and always kept a focus on how his operations impacted riders. A national search for a new Commr. may be tough as CT is the only state in the union that runs mass transit out of its DOT. What national DOT candidate can come in with rail experience?
