LINCOLN- Last Friday, Governor Jim Pillen named Vicki Kramer as the next director of Nebraska's Department of Transportation. Kramer will be the first woman in state history to hold the title. Gov. Pillen, in a press release, stated that Kramer brings "broad experience from both the private and public sector" of the job.

Kramer has been working as chief of staff for infrastructure markets and strategy for Kiewit Infrastructure Engineering, and before that worked at the Nebraska Department of Transportation as communication director, public policy director, and strategic adviser to the DOT director.

Kramer will be replacing John Selmer, who retired as the NDOT director last month after serving in that capacity since 2021. Former NDOT Director Kyle Schneweis said Kramer will be "exceptional" in her new role, and that "She will continue to modernize the department and work to achieve its goals."
