LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — An official who oversaw Nebraska’s road and bridge repairs after last year’s historic floods and helped create the state Department of Transportation is leaving his post for a private-sector job.
Nebraska DOT Director Kyle Schneweis is stepping down next month to become CEO of a national transportation consulting firm.
Schneweis was appointed by Gov. Pete Ricketts five and a half years ago as director of the Nebraska Department of Roads.
The agency was later merged with the Department of Aeronautics and renamed the Nebraska Department of Transportation.
