Turnpike Chief to Step Down
The CEO of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission will step down at the end of the month. Roger Nutt cited health concerns in his letter of resignation. Turnpike Commission Chair William Lieberman had mixed emotions in his response, but recognized the move is in the best interest of Mr. Nutt’s long-term health. Nutt was named Turnpike CEO in March 2011.
It was under Nutt’s leadership that the Turnpike Commission has taken the next steps toward All-Electronic Tolling. Just last month Nutt testified before the House and Senate Transportation Committees, asserting the Turnpike’s finances are solid.
