International Tolling Association Announces New Officers for 2023

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association (IBTTA), the worldwide association for the owners and operators of toll facilities and the businesses that serve the tolling industry, has announced its Officers for 2023, who will each serve a one-year term. They represent a diverse array of toll operator members, including state agencies and state and international operators. 

The Officers constitute the Executive Committee of the Board, which oversees the affairs of the Association between Board meetings and performs other functions as the Board authorizes. The 2023 Officers were elected by the membership during IBTTA’s 90th Annual Meeting & Exhibition this past September.

First Vice President: Bill M. Halkias, PE, President Emeritus of HELLASTRON and Immediate Past President of the International Road Federation (IRF).
Second Vice President: James Hofmann, Executive Director/CEO of the North Texas Tollway Authority.
International Vice President: Christophe Boutin, Executive Director of ASFA
Immediate Past President: Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti, Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Transportation.

“IBTTA’s Board of Directors, led by the officers, are responsible for charting the vision and course of the association,” said Pat Jones, Executive Director and CEO of IBTTA. “That vision is to promote improvements in vital road infrastructure around the world through sustainable funding, financing, and charging solutions that the tolling industry is known for. Now more than ever we need strong leadership to advance that vision, and we are fortunate to have officers with the passion and expertise to do that.”

Several directors also were elected for the first time or reelected to the board for terms beginning January 1, 2023:
