Tonko Statement on Death of Former CDTA CEO Carm Basile

AMSTERDAM, NY — Congressman Paul D. Tonko (NY-20) released the following statement after news of the death this morning of former Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA) CEO Carm Basile: “I’m deeply saddened to learn of the sudden passing of former CDTA CEO Carm Basile, a true friend and dedicated public servant who spent his brilliant career working to better connect and serve our Capital Region communities. Carm started at CDTA in 1981 as a transportation planner and moved steadily up the ranks, concluding his 43-year tenure at the Authority with 15 years as its CEO. I was proud to work closely with Carm on expanding transit access in Montgomery County and on building a greener, more energy-efficient fleet of vehicles that helped steer CDTA firmly into the 21 st century. Through his skillful navigation of CDTA through the pandemic and subsequent recovery, he never lost sight of his signature determination to improve the lives of those he served. Carm will be sorely missed by all of us in the Capital Region, and I extend my heartfelt condolences to his wife Sheila and his two sons as they mourn this tragic loss.”
