ODOT’s Bob Bryant Headed to Washington D.C.
Selected for Engineering Management Fellowship with AASHTO
The Oregon Department of Transportation’s Bob Bryant has been selected from a nationwide candidate pool to serve as Engineering Management Fellow with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in Washington, D.C. Bryant’s one-year appointment with AASHTO will begin March 1.
During his tenure, Bryant will work as a liaison for state transportation agencies, transportation engineers and policy makers from across the country. “A lot of the work will include coordinating with standing committees to ensure that they have the resources they need, acting as a liaison and represent AASHTO at meetings on a myriad of topics from maintenance to construction to project delivery,” says Bryant.
Bryant also looks forward to the possibility of spending time with Senate and House leaders as Congress works to reach agreement on the proposed Federal Transportation Reauthorization Bill. Several central Oregon projects, including the Redmond Reroute and Cooley Road Interchange projects, have potential funding resources included in the proposed bill.
