The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the federal agency charged with making vehicles safer and reducing accidents, may finally have a new chief – Heidi King, current deputy NHTSA administrator has been nominated.

“King’s credentials appear well aligned with the position. King was a regulatory policy analyst in the White House’s Office of Management and Budget under former presidents Bill Clinton, George W.

King also was chief economist on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.”
