Statement by Governor Murphy on President Biden’s Appointment of Vinn White as Senior Advisor for Implementation at the U.S. Department of Transportation

“I’m thrilled by President Biden’s appointment of Vinn White to serve as Senior Advisor for Implementation at the U.S. Department of Transportation. Vinn understands the importance of investing in smart infrastructure projects that create the underpinnings for increased mobility, long-term economic success, and a more sustainable future. From the Gateway Program to electric vehicle incentives, Vinn’s expertise and strategic approach have been an integral part of our efforts to strengthen New Jersey’s transportation network. In particular, Vinn’s efforts to support NJ TRANSIT — assisting with the development of a 10-year strategic plan and a comprehensive capital plan, working to make the Portal North Bridge project a reality, and helping Director Corbett meet Positive Train Control deadlines — have set the Agency on the right path. I have no doubt that Vinn will be a tremendous asset to President Biden and Secretary-designate Buttigieg as they launch a national effort to build new infrastructure and a clean energy economy.”
