Blakey Takes Reins of Transportation Board
Marion Blakey was sworn in as chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board, the first Bush administration appointee to serve on the board.
Blakey, a former head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, replaced Carol Carmody, who became acting chairwoman after Jim Hall left in January.
Blakey, who has a long record of public service in various federal posts, spent the last eight years running a Washington public affairs consulting firm that concentrated on transportation issues and traffic safety.
