After almost 25-years with the Mineta Transportation Institute, founding Executive Director Rod Diridon has retired. Rod Diridon’s knowledge and influence on the transportation industry locally, regionally, and nationally cannot be emphasized enough.

The MTI staff said, at this occasion: “It has been a personal honor and a privilege to have Rod as a mentor and his daily presence is greatly missed. We thank Rod for his years of dedicated service and strong leadership and will continue to honor his legacy.”

UIC Director General, who is a Member of the MTI Board of Trustees, would like to play tribute also to Mr Diridon for his important role during all these years of cooperation, for UIC as well as for several UIC members also Members of the MTI Board of Trustees.
