Georgia lawmakers are considering Gov. Nathan Deal's pick for a statewide transportation post.

The Republican governor earlier nominated Toby Carr as Georgia's transportation planning director. The state Senate has already voted to approve Carr.

On Thursday, a special House subcommittee will consider Carr's nomination during a public hearing. Carr is a former director of the Georgia Republican Party.
