Former ADOT Director Confirmed as Federal Highway Administrator

Former Arizona Transportation Department Director Victor Mendez has been confirmed by the US Senate as Administrator of the Federal Highway Administration. He will begin on July 20.

FHWA says Mendez’s accomplishments in Arizona include the construction of the Regional Freeway System in the Phoenix area that was built six years ahead of schedule. He delivered statewide construction programs on time, including major infrastructure improvements throughout the state. And he worked to improve the agency’s customer service within motor vehicle and highway division offices.
