"ATA is a safety-first organization, and having Dan on board will allow us to maintain our position as the leading voice advocating for the safety of the trucking industry," said ATA President and CEO Chris Spear. "Dan has a wealth of experience with highway safety issues, and we are happy that he is part of the ATA team."

"I've spent my professional career working in commercial vehicle and highway safety, so I'm excited to bring that experience to ATA to help this industry and our members improve upon trucking's already impressive safety record," Horvath said. "ATA has always been a strong voice for safety and I’m delighted that I now get to be a part of that."

Horvath also has been a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration auditor and spent several years in the operations and safety department at Mlaker Transportation Inc., a Pennsylvania-based motor coach company.
