The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), a nonprofit association representing departments of transportation in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, recently named Garrett Eucalitto as the association’s new president.
Eucalitto will serve the remainder of former AASHTO president Craig Thompson’s term. Thompson stepped down to work in the education sector.
Eucalitto formerly served as AASHTO vice president. He is a Connecticut Department of Transportation commissioner.
“Craig has done incredible work for AASHTO and its members and I am honored to serve out the remainder of his term as AASHTO president,” Eucalitto said. “Under Craig’s leadership, we have made progress on his priority areas over the last year that will make a meaningful difference in the communities we serve. As he departs, Craig has left us some incredible tools that we can use to keep moving forward together. It was my pleasure to serve alongside Craig over the last several months and I join the whole association in thanking him for everything he’s done for the country and the entire transportation industry.”
The AASHTO board of directors will convene Philadelphia on Nov. 1 for the organization’s annual meeting. The board will elect a new president and vice president during the meeting.
