Come hear the latest updates on GDOT from Russell McMurry, the Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Transportation.

This is a joint meeting with the GT ASCE Student Section. Space is limited so register early.

Commissioner McMurry provides leadership to the Department whose staff is nearly 4,000 with an operating budget of over $3.5 billion. He is keenly aware of the criticality that transportation infrastructure plays in Georgia’s economic competiveness, and in strengthening economic growth and quality of life for all of Georgia.

In February 2019, Commissioner McMurry was named one of Atlanta’s most powerful leaders in Atlanta Magazine’s “Atlanta 500.” Commissioner McMurry is focused on providing Georgia with transportation infrastructure that is in a state of good repair, investment that supports business, especially agribusiness and delivery of Georgia’s major mobility investment program, the largest program in Georgia’s history.

Commissioner McMurry has been recognized nationally for his leadership during the I-85 Bridge rebuild. He was honored to be one of a few transportation leaders invited to Washington to meet with President Donald J. Trump, U.S. DOT Secretary Elaine Chao and Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke and have the Department recognized by the administration.
