The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' board yesterday elected Roger Millar and Paul Ajegba as president and vice president, respectively. Both will serve one-year terms.
Millar is secretary of the Washington State Department of Transportation, a role he's held since 2016. Millar also is an experienced land-use and transportation engineer, planner and program manager, AASHTO officials said in a press release.
As president, Millar will focus on resilience, including preparing for and adapting transportation infrastructure to changing climate-related conditions, AASHTO officials said.
