    President Biden yesterday nominated Shailen Bhatt, former secretary of transportation in two different state governments (Colorado and Delaware), to be his long-awaited head of the Federal Highway Administration.

    Running a state DOT or highway bureau is perhaps the most common job qualification for past FHWA Administrators, going all the way back to Frank DuPont in (also a former head of Delaware DOT&#;s predecessor agency). That club later includes Bert Tallamy (New York), Rex Whitton (Missouri), Karl Bowers (South Carolina), Ray Barnhart (Texas), Tom Larson (Pennsylvania), Rodney Slater (Arkansas), Mary Peters (Arizona), and Victor Mendez (Arizona again).

    The brev of FHWA Administrator has been vacant since the end of the Trump Administration. A full 18 months having lapsed since President Biden took office, it was beginning to look like the White House was never going to make a nomination to run FHWA, which has the highest budget of any of the U.S. Department of Transportation

    "I want to wrap up a revenue package for DelDOT before then. That's the biggest challenge," Bhatt said. "I want to ensure the transition is as seamless as it can be, and that I leave the agency in a good place."

    Gov. Jack Markell said Monday afternoon he's nominating Division of Motor Vehicles Director Jennifer Cohan to succeed Bhatt at the top of the 2,employee agency, pending her confirmation by the state Senate.

    In recent years, Cohan managed nearly all of DelDOT's divisions during vacancies in senior posts, while still running the DMV.
