MTA Names New Construction Head As AECOM Buys His Former Firm
New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Agency, which runs the city's sprawling subway system, has finally announced a new president of its multi-billion-dollar Capital Construction Co. Michael Horodniceanu served as city traffic commissioner from 1986 to 1990. For several months there has been speculation that he would succeed Mysore Nagaraja, the unit's first-ever chief. He retired in January after four years in the post and now serves as a consultant to Mayor Michael Bloomberg (R).
Horodniceanu had been CEO or Urbitran Group, a New York City-based transportation and planning consulting firm. The company ranks 363 on ENR's list of The Top 500 Design Firms, with 2007 revenue of $35.5 million.
