Statement by Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta Regarding the
Resignation of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administrator Annette M. Sandberg
Annette leaves the Department with an exceptional record of accomplishment.
Under her leadership, FMCSA made significant progress in improving the safety of
commercial vehicles, including reducing the large truck fatality rate to its
lowest level ever recorded. She worked hard to foster a commitment to safety and
a dedication to accomplishment within this agency. I wish her the best of
success in her future endeavors.”
