WASHINGTON, DC - Subcommittee on Digital Commerce and Consumer Protection Chairman Bob Latta (R-OH) issued the following statement regarding President Trump’s intent to nominate Heidi King to be Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
“Deputy Administrator King has been a strong voice for vehicle safety as acting head of NHTSA, and I am pleased she will continue to lead the agency in its mission to keep drivers safe. With distracted and drugged driving on the rise, our nation has seen an unacceptable increase in traffic fatalities in recent years, making clear that NHTSA’s role is as important as ever. I look forward to working with Administrator King to improve the safety of cars on the road today and tomorrow as self-driving technology advances," said Latta.
