Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey on Monday appointed Monica Tibbits-Nutt secretary of transportation.
Tibbits-Nutt has been serving as acting secretary since mid-September and was previously undersecretary of transportation as of January.
Tibbits-Nutt also completed her tenure on the MassDOT board and as the vice-chair of the Fiscal Management and Control Board that oversaw the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) from 2015 to 2021.
As acting secretary, Tibbits-Nutt directed oversight of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation's Rail and Transit Division, Aeronautics Division and the Office of Transportation Planning.
"She hit the ground running by working with the MBTA to prepare a first-of-its kind plan to fix the tracks by the end of next year, taking important steps to integrate climate planning across MassDOT, securing federal funding to support infrastructure needs and stepping up for communities that were devastated by extreme weather, said Healey in a news release.
