David Ekern is the new commissioner of the Virginia Department of Transportation. He joined Coy Barefoot on the September 28th episode of WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now. Ekern took office last week after a stint as the director of Idaho’s transportation department.
“That was a lot of fun,” says Ekern. “We made a lot of changes, we introduced new ways of doing business, we focused on innovative finance, and we had a really aggresive agenda with the legislature to streamline and modernize what’s going on in Idaho.”
