Many of the data programs which we have grown to know and love (NHTS, HPMS, travel monitoring, highway statistics, etc) were under Chip's domain as well as FHWA policy analyses like Truck Size and Weight. For the curious, here is the web site for the policy shop (http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policy/index.htm). -------- Original Message -------- Subject: FW: Announcement of Key Leadership Change from J.

Richard Capka Charles (Chip) Nottingham, the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Associate Administrator for Policy and Governmental Affairs, assumed the position of Chairman of the Surface Transportation Board on August 14. During the past 4 years, Chip has provided exceptional leadership as the senior policy, legislative, and congressional affairs manager for the FHWA. Among his many accomplishments, he successfully coordinated the team that played the key role in enabling Congress to pass, and the President to sign the surface transportation reauthorization bill. Please join me in wishing Chip well in his new position.
