“Governor Perdue has made an excellent choice in appointing Ms. Rountree as executive director of the State Road and Tollway Authority,” said Roger Byrd, SRTA board member. “Her expertise and knowledge of the transportation industry will be of great value to both SRTA and Georgia as we move forward in transportation initiatives.”

Prior to joining SRTA, she served as a senior ITS specialist for PBS&J, a project manager for ACS (previously Lockheed Martin) and an operations manager at the Orlando Orange County Expressway Authority. She has more than 20 years experience in toll operations, management, finance and customer service. Rountree is a member of Women in Transportation, International Bridge, and the Tunnel and Turnpike Association. She is a graduate of the University of West Florida.
