The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' (AASHTO) board yesterday elected Missouri Department of Transportation Director Patrick McKenna as president and New Hampshire DOT Commissioner Victoria Sheehan as vice president.

As president, McKenna plans to emphasize the need for surface transportation reauthorization and to highlight transportation safety, AASHTO officials said in a press release.

Prior to the election, McKenna served as AASHTO’s vice president, and as president of the Mid-America Association of Transportation Officials. He is a member of the executive committee for the National Academy of Science’s Transportation Research Board. 

Sheehan, who has been the New Hampshire DOT commissioner since 2015, is the second woman in the AASHTO’s 105-year history to serve as VP.
