The nation’s top auto safety regulator — who oversaw investigations into millions of Toyota Motor Corp. vehicles and helped broker a deal to nearly double fuel efficiency standards by 2025 — is stepping down.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration chief David Strickland — a former Senate aide and lawyer — told senior staff on Wednesday that he plans to step down as head of the agency that oversees vehicle safety standards, recalls, fuel economy regulations and other vehicle regulatory issues.
