NJDOT leadership change underway

Written by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor

The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) Commissioner Jamie Fox will make his anticipated transition back to the private sector by the end of the month, when NJDOT Deputy Commissioner Joseph Bertoni will take over as acting commissioner.

 

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie nominated Fox to serve as commissioner of NJDOT in September 2014 and he was confirmed by the Senate on September 22, 2014. Fox previously served as commissioner of the department in 2002, as well as chairman of the Board of New Jersey Transit, deputy executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and as chief of staff to New Jersey Gov. James McGreevey and deputy chief of staff to New Jersey Gov. James Florio.

Bertoni began his career with the NJDOT in 1988 in the Division of Bridge Design and has worked as a project manager in the department’s Capital Program Management unit where he was responsible for managing the design and construction of major bridge and highway projects. Prior to becoming deputy commissioner, Bertoni served as the NJDOT’s chief of staff.
