- Have you noticed there is still no new president and chief executive officer of Amtrak? Considering all that’s going on, this is no surprise, and a good thing for whoever does eventually take the job.As noted in the last issued of TWA, Norman Mineta has departed as the United States Secretary of Transportation, and his designee on the Amtrak board, Jeffrey Rosen also is gone from DOT. Since the DOT secretary is the principal Amtrak stockholder by law, it would be tough to select a new head of the company without knowing who the real boss will be. Maria Cino, the Deputy Secretary of Transportation since 2005, is the Acting Secretary of Transportation. As of yet, the White House has not nominated a new secretary.
