TxDOT San Angelo Has a New District Engineer

 

The Texas Department of Transportation announced today that Mark Jones became the new San Angelo District Engineer effective March 14, 2016. 

According to the release, Mark has devoted over 25 years to transportation engineering in the public and private sectors. His TxDOT career began in 1992 in the Construction Division and he transferred to the Austin District in 1996. He left TxDOT in 1999 to work in the private sector where he assisted in the accelerated planning and development of over 24 miles of toll roads through central Texas.

In 2004, Jones rejoined TxDOT as the Georgetown assistant area engineer and later as area engineer, managing the first pass-through toll program in Williamson County. He became director of construction for the Waco District in 2015.

Jones also earned a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from New Mexico State University.

“This region of our state is very dynamic when it comes to transportation.“ Mark said. “We reach out across both rural and urban communities and maintain over 150 miles of interstate highway.  Connecting communities, supporting economic growth and providing a safe system will certainly be a challenge,” he added.     

According to the press release, the San Angelo district covers 15 counties: Coke, Concho, Crockett, Edwards, Glasscock, Irion, Kimble, Menard, Reagan, Real, Runnels, Schleicher, Sterling, Sutton, and Tom Green and has over 7,000 miles of roadway infrastructure.
