President Joe Biden will nominate Democrat Karen J. Hedlund, current Vice President and National Rail Strategy Advisor at WSP USA and former Federal Railroad Administration Deputy Administrator, to replace Republican Ann Begeman on the Surface Transportation Board.
Begeman’s term expired Dec. 31, 2020, and by statute she could have remained up to 12 months in holdover status, until Dec. 31, 2021. She served two five-year terms as STB Chair, and was replaced in that post by Democrat Marty Oberman by President Biden on January 21, 2021. STB members are limited to two five-year terms by statute.
