Mike Heiligenstein
Executive Director, CTRMA
The WTS - Heart of Texas Chapter is honored to present Mike Heiligenstein, the Executive Director of the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority (CTRMA), as the featured speaker for our March 2015 luncheon program. Mr. Heiligenstein will provide insight on CTRMA current projects, including the MoPac Improvement Project.
CTRMA is an independent government agency, that was created in 2002 to design a modern, regional transportation network for Central Texas. The Mobility Authority's current and future projects are key elements in a carefully planned, multi-modal transportation system designed to meet the diverse mobility needs of this fast-growing region. Mike Heiligenstein has been with the Mobility Authority since its inception and has overseen the development of their first project, 183A in Williamson County. 183A is one of the first projects in the country to transition to all-electronic, cashless toll collection.
Before taking the helm at the Mobility Authority, Mike served the citizens of Williamson County for 23 years as a public official. During his years of public service, Mike initiated and helped supervise $1.5 billion in capital improvement projects.
Mr. Heiligenstein is a member of the Texas Department of Transportation's Texas Technology Task Force, the Carma Carpooling's Advisory Board and the advisory Board of the Texas A&M Transportation Institute. He is also the Past President (2014) of the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association (IBTTA) and serves on several other committees and working groups dealing with transportation issues.
Mr. Heiligenstein is called upon both nationally and in Texas to speak to groups about infrastructure, particularly transportation, and is known for his commitment to regional approaches to problem solving. He is also a graduate of The University of Texas and holds Masters Degrees in Government and Business Administration.
