RSSA Miami transportation executive, Javier Rodriguez, executive director of the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX), has been named 2015 president of the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association’s (63 IBTTA).

As a transportation leader, Rodriguez is poised to lead IBTTA during this challenging time. Under Rodriguez's leadership, MDX converted its expressways to an all-electronic system. Before joining MDX in 2007, Rodriguez spent 16 years with the 4503 Florida Department of Transportation, including four years as director of Transportation Development.

“I am honoured to lead IBTTA and its members during this critical time for infrastructure investment," said Rodriguez. "Our economy and mobility depend on the quality of our highways, bridges and tunnels and the tolling industry is front and centre providing solutions to address congestion, mobility, interoperability, and the reconstruction of highways.”

"We are thrilled to have Javier as president of IBTTA at this crucial time," said Patrick D. Jones, executive director and CEO of IBTTA. "At MDX, Javier has been instrumental in growing the operation and financing some of the busiest, most critical East-West roadways in the Miami-Dade Metropolitan Area. He brings a unique level of experience and leadership in the world of transportation and tolling."
