AUSTIN, TX — The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) announces the selection of Brian Barth as the department's second Deputy Executive Director. Barth will serve alongside Deputy Executive Director Brandye Hendrickson. Both positions report to Executive Director Marc Williams with Barth responsible for leading TxDOT's program delivery overseeing all roads, bridges, and maintenance throughout the entire state.

Most recently, Barth served as TxDOT's Director of Project Planning and Development, where he oversaw TxDOT's Transportation Planning and Programming, Right of Way, Environmental Affairs, Professional Engineering Procurement, and Transportation Programs divisions.

Barth's transportation experience includes serving as the District Engineer for TxDOT's Fort Worth District from 2013-2018, working to solve Metroplex-area transportation issues. Under his direction as District Engineer, he oversaw over $1 billion in construction work each year in addition to major projects on I-35W, SH 360 South, and the I-30/SH 360 Interchange.

“With Brian's demonstrated leadership moving our Texas Clear Lanes initiative forward to tackle congestion in our busiest metros, I'm pleased to have his experience and expertise focused relentlessly on delivering on our robust program of transportation projects statewide,” said Texas Transportation Chairman J. Bruce Bugg, Jr.

Barth began his career at TxDOT in 1988 as an Engineering Assistant in the Dallas District after graduation from the University of Texas at Austin with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering. In 2003, he was appointed as the Dallas District's Director of Transportation Planning and Development. From 2009 to 2013, Barth served as the Fort Worth District's Deputy District Engineer, providing joint oversight and development of the DFW Connector, North Tarrant Express, I-35W, I-30, and Chisholm Trail Parkway.

“I look forward to serving in this new and critical role,” Barth said. “I know firsthand that the women and men of TxDOT share my commitment to tackling complex challenges with rigor, dedication, and meaningful results.”
