The Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT) CFO will step up and lead the agency on an interim basis. The Texas Transportation Commission voted unanimously to name James Bass as executive director. TxDOT’s current leader, Phil Wilson, accepted a job as head of the Lower Colorado River Authority. Bass has been TxDOT’s CFO for over a decade.
Commissioner Jeff Moseley will now be in charge of a committee that will find Wilson’s permanent replacement. Moseley said he did not have a timeline for finding the right candidate.
