Mr. Gallegos is a nationally recognized expert in the areas of transportation, land use, regional public policymaking, and bi-national planning and diplomacy. He leads a staff of nearly 200 professionals who collaborate to develop public initiatives for elected officials on numerous issues encompassing population growth, transportation, environmental management, economic development, municipal finance, bi-national coordination, and public safety. Under his direction , the agency has crafted an innovative $42 billion Regional Transportation Plan, "Mobility 2030," to address the region's transportation needs.
In 2004, Mr. Gallegos led the charge to gain a 67 percent voter approval to extend the local half-cent transportation sales tax program know as TransNet, which will generate $14 billion to help fund highway, transit, and local road improvements. Mr. Gallegos holds a B.S. degree in civil engineering from the University of new Mexico and is a registered civil engineer.
