Director's Pen

I am honored to have the opportunity to serve the Illinois
Department of Transportation as Interim Director of the
Division of Traffic Safety following the departure of
Director Mike Stout. I am happy to say that this staff’s
program record under Director Stout has been outstanding.
I have worked at IDOT since September 1998, first as a
policy specialist in the Office of Planning and Programming,
then for a full decade as Assistant to the Secretary, and
since 2009, as Director of Communications. I received a
Bachelor of Journalism from the University of Missouri
School of Journalism, and I received a Masters degree in
Public Administration from the University of Illinois,
Springfield.
Secretary Schneider asked that I serve as Interim Director
until a permanent appointment is made. I am not a candidate
for the permanent appointment. My job as the interim
replacement is to begin a full review of programs and key
processes in order to help the permanent appointee get up to
speed quickly as we continue the important work of Traffic
Safety.
I appreciate the hard work and cooperation of IDOT/DTS staff
and partners, and I look forward to promoting traffic safety
messages and guiding the division into the future.
John A. Webber
Interim Director
