The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) recently named three members of the new Office of Urban Mobility and Mega Project Delivery.
The goal of the office is to develop solutions to relieve congestion and improve mobility and access.
Issues the office will tackle include the development of a tolling and congestion pricing program, and the delivery of the I-205, the Abernethy Bridge Project, and the I-5 Rose Quarter Improvement Project.
“The agency will enhance its efforts to grow beyond just a highway department into an organization focused on providing transportation options for all users, making decisions through the lens of social equity, and ensuring equitable access to transportation choices and economic opportunities for communities and individuals across our state,” ODOT Director Kris Strickler said.
Della Mosier recently became deputy director. Mosier has worked for ODOT for the past decade, most recently in the Bend office, and has assisted on multiple projects at the Portland office.
Lucinda Broussard was named tolling program manager and begins her new role Feb. 1. She has worked on tolling programs in Washington state and Georgia.
Brendan Finn was named director and will assume this role on March 1. Finn formerly served as the transportation policy adviser for Gov. Kate Brown and oversaw the Portland Bureau of Transportation.
