2018, spanning two administrations, an unprecedented tenure in the department’s modern era.
Among myriad accomplishments as director, he laid the foundation for innovation, overseeing the
department’s first “bridge slide,” its first public-private partnership (P3) for freeway lighting, and
the state’s first freeway “flex route,” allowing for the use of the shoulder during peak times on the
heavily traveled US-23 corridor north of Ann Arbor. Steudle played a key role in negotiating an
agreement with the Canadian government for the Gordie Howe international Bridge, including
creation of the international bridge authority for oversight. As a nationally recognized thought
leader in the deployment of connected and automated vehicles, he helped open Mcity, a 32-acre
facility at the University of Michigan dedicated to researching the technology. He also was a leader
in developing the 500-acre American Center for Mobility, where he briefly served as interim CEO/
president in 2018. Steudle served a number of years on the American Association of State Highway
and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) board of directors, including a term as president in 2011-
2012. He also served on the ITS America Board of Directors, including a term as chair.
