WSP USA names Las Vegas office leader/sr. engineering manager
In his new position, John Meng will provide focus, direction, and leadership, as well as project management and technical expertise on local projects as appropriate.
John Meng has been named office leader and sr. engineering manager in the Las Vegas office of WSP USA, formerly WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff.
In his new position, Meng is responsible for the management, growth, and development of the firm’s Las Vegas office, as well as performance of WSP’s projects in the area. He provides focus, direction, and leadership, as well as project management and technical expertise on local projects as appropriate.
Meng has worked in the transportation industry for more than two decades, with a range of experience in aviation, highway, transit, and water resource projects with public and private clients on projects of sizes ranging up to $1.5 billion. His experience includes design, construction management, and program management. Prior to joining WSP, he was with an international engineering organization, serving as a design manager on the California High-Speed Rail Program, as well as several other roles.
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.
The service is a flexible, reservation-based transit service designed to close the first- and last-mile gaps and connect riders to employment for just $5 per day.
The upgraded system, which went live earlier this month, supports METRO’s METRONow vision to enhance the customer experience, improve service reliability, and strengthen long-term regional mobility.
The agreement provides competitive wages and reflects strong labor-management collaboration, positive working relationships, and a shared commitment to building a world-class transit system for the community, said RTA CEO Lona Edwards Hankins.
The priorities are outlined in the 2026 Board and CEO Initiatives and Action Plan, which serves as a roadmap to guide the agency’s work throughout the year and ensure continued progress and accountability on voter-approved transportation investments and essential mobility services.
