Utah DOT’s Lisa Wilson named chair of AASHTO CTSO

The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials has named Lisa Wilson – deputy director of the Utah Department of Transportation – to a two-year term as chair of the Committee on Transportation System Operations (CTSO).

AASHTO’s CTSO focuses on transportation system operations and associated intelligent transportation system or ITS technologies with a goal of improving safety, system reliability, and highway system performance.

Wilson – who also serves as chair of the Steering Committee for the AASHTO Innovation Management or AIM technical service program – is a nearly 30-year Utah DOT veteran who oversees the agency’s project development and operations divisions, as well as its four statewide regional offices.

Prior to being named to her current position in January 2020, Wilson served as Region Two director, overseeing the agency’s operations in Salt Lake, Summit and Tooele counties.

Wilson is a licensed professional engineer and holds a degree in civil engineering from Utah State University.
