The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce applauds Gov.-elect Murphy's nomination of Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti for commissioner of the state Department of Transportation.

Gutierrez-Scaccetti is a proven professional in the transportation sector having formally served with distinction as executive director of New Jersey Turnpike Authority and currently serving as executive director of Florida's Turnpike Authority.

This role is vitally important to New Jersey because of the importance of infrastructure to our overall economy, and we look forward to working with Gutierrez-Scaccetti on infrastructure needs.
