The Healey Administration has announced its Secretary of Transportation will step down in the next two weeks.

Gina Fiandaca, formerly the Boston City Parking Clerk, was tapped by Gov. Maura Healey to lead the Department of Transportation and oversee the beleaguered MBTA in December, ahead of Healey’s swearing in.

“Transportation Secretary Gina Fiandaca will be stepping down from her position effective September 11, 2023 and will remain in an advising role through the end of the year to support a smooth transition,” Healey’s office said in a Monday release.

Fiandaca came to the job after serving as Assistant City Manager in Austin, Texas. Though the governor did not offer a reason for her leaving, Fiandaca’s sudden departure comes following May revelations that MassDOT had awarded a no-bid contract worth $900,000 to a personal associate of hers.

The soon-to-be former Secretary of Transportation thanked Healey for the opportunity.

“I will be stepping down as the Secretary of the Department of Transportation effective September 11th. I want to thank Governor Healey for the honor and privilege of leading MassDOT during this transformative time in transportation. I am grateful for the trust Governor Healey placed in me that led to significant progress in virtually every facet of transportation in the Commonwealth,” she said in a statement.

Undersecretary for Transportation Monica Tibbits-Nutt will assume the role of Acting Transportation Secretary while the Healey administration works to replace Fiandaca.

Tibbits-Nutt joined the Healey Administration in January after serving on the MassDOT Board of Directors and as the Vice-Chair of the Fiscal Management and Control Board which oversaw the MBTA up until about two years ago.
