Nevada Department of Transportation promotes two staffers to executive positions
CARSON CITY, Nev. – The Nevada Department of Transportation has promoted two staff members to executive positions overseeing department operations and planning, respectively. Reid Kaiser has been appointed as NDOT assistant director of operations and Sondra Rosenberg will serve as assistant director of planning.
Kaiser will oversee NDOT’s construction and construction materials testing programs, as well as equipment, maintenance and traffic operations initiatives. With more than 25 years of NDOT construction and materials engineering experience, including positions as assistant district engineer, resident engineer, assistant chief construction engineer and chief materials engineer, Kaiser has administered more than $100 million in NDOT construction projects, implemented department asphalt pavement specifications and more. He holds a bachelor’s degree in construction engineering management from Oregon State University and is a licensed professional engineer in Nevada and California.
“Whether testing the construction and materials of new roads or plowing snow from existing roadways, NDOT staff work tirelessly to ensure that Nevada has the safest, most efficient and mobile transportation system possible,” Kaiser said. “It is an honor to continue to be able to support and work with all NDOT staff to keep Nevada mobile.”
Sondra Rosenberg will serve as NDOT assistant director of planning, tasked with overseeing NDOT safety, planning, research, traffic information, roadway systems and performance analysis groups. She has worked in NDOT’s planning group since 2008, most notably as a driving force behind the I-11 and Intermountain West Corridor Study developing a future interstate link connecting Las Vegas with Phoenix and beyond. She holds a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Physics from the University of Rochester and a Master of Science degree in Transportation Technology and Policy from the University of California, Davis.
“Driving, bicycling, walking, taking public transit or flying- they are all vital components of the transportation system that gets each and every Nevadan where we need to go,” Rosenberg explained. “My goal is to continue developing and coordinating a balanced multi-modal transportation planning program for the mobility, livability and economic development of the entire state.”
The new NDOT executives fill positions left vacant after retirements of two NDOT senior staff members who had each been with the department for more than 30 years.
