The chief enforcement officer of the Transportation Services Authority has been appointed to lead the Nevada Taxicab Authority.

John Plunkett, who oversees enforcement for the state agency that regulates buses, limousines, tow trucks and moving companies, will serve as administrator for the Taxicab Authority, the agency that regulates Clark County's 14 cab companies.

Plunkett replaces Bob Anselmo, 70, who is retiring after six years as administrator. The change occurs July 6.

As the TSA's enforcement officer, Plunkett also oversaw taxi operations outside Clark County. Before joining the TSA, he served as a special agent with the FBI for more than 20 years, spending the last five as a supervisory special agent in the Las Vegas Division.
