Steve Roth, PE, PMP, joined HNTB Corp. as group director – engineering, based in the firm’s Austin office. Roth will work with the firm’s transit clients in Central and South Texas, including Capital Metro in Austin and VIA Metropolitan Transit in San Antonio.
Roth has more than 20 years of experience in planning, design and construction of rail, transit, transportation and infrastructure projects. Throughout his career, he has served on a wide range of complex projects in Texas, including downtown station engineering design services for Capital Metro, preliminary engineering and environmental services for VIA, program management services for the Denton County Transportation Authority and Rail Division Planning and Engineering Services for the Texas Department of Transportation.
“Steve’s proven capabilities and experience in system planning, corridor analyses, public and stakeholder engagement, and design, strengthens our capabilities and offerings to our transit clients as they look to increase mobility options across the region,” said Michelle Dippel, HNTB Central and South Texas office leader and vice president.
Prior to joining HNTB, Roth served as senior manager and transit practice leader for another consulting firm.
In Central and South Texas, HNTB currently is working on, or has been involved with, some of the region’s most significant infrastructure projects, including serving as both general planning consultant and general engineering consultant for Capital Metro in Austin; program management services for VIA Metropolitan Transit in San Antonio; planning consultant for the Texas Department of Transportation’s Planning and Programming Division; and construction engineering and inspection services for the U.S. 281/Loop 1604 Interchange in San Antonio.
METRO Executive Editor Alex Roman presented the award to the operation’s President/CEO Scott Parsons at the United Motorcoach Association’s EXPO in Birmingham, Alabama.
The brand strategy was developed based on input from RTA board members, staff, and stakeholders, along with secondary research conducted over a months-long process.
In close coordination with regional partners including Caltrain and BART, the agency ensured convenient interagency connections and seamless transfers for game-day passengers.
Because rail has high fixed costs and low marginal savings, it is impossible to close the projected FY27 $376M deficit with service cuts and fare increases alone, said agency officials.
The total ridership includes all fixed-route bus service, C-VAN paratransit service, The Current, Vanpool, and special event service. Almost all individual routes saw year-over-year increases from 2024 to 2025.
The Renton Transit Center project will relocate and rebuild the Renton Transit Center to better serve the regional Stride S1 line, local King County Metro services, and the future RapidRide I Line.
In this episode of METROspectives, METRO’s Executive Editor Alex Roman sits down with Ana-Maria Tomlinson, Director of Strategic & Cross-Sector Programs at the Canadian Standards Association (CSA Group).
In this edition, we cover recent appointments and announcements at HDR, NCTD, STV, and more, showcasing the individuals helping to shape the future of transportation.
The region’s fixed-route system finished out the year with a total of 373.5 million rides. Adding 12.3 million rides over 2024 represents an increase that is equal to the annual transit ridership of Kansas City.
