WASHINGTON, DC… Maryland Department of Transportation’s Assistant Secretary for Transportation Policy and Freight, Caitlin Hughes Rayman, has been selected to be the Director of the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Office of Freight Management and Operations. 

  “I commend the Federal Highway Administration for selecting Caitlin Hughes Rayman to lead the Office of Freight Management and Operations,” said Coalition for America’s Gateways and Trade Corridors (Coalition) Chairman Mortimer Downey. “I have every confidence that Caitlin will excel in this position and increase the deference given to freight transportation. The Administration will undoubtedly find her knowledgebase and leadership skills as tremendous assets among many others she possesses.”

 An active Coalition member while at Maryland DOT, Rayman was responsible for managing legislation and policy aimed at improving multimodal freight transportation. Prior to joining Maryland DOT in 2007, she served as the Federal Legislative Programs Coordinator for North Carolina DOT where she worked a great deal on freight mobility issues. 
Rayman will replace former Director of the Office of Freight Management and Operations Tony Furst, who now serves as FHWA’s Associate Administrator for Safety.
