The Texas A&M University Kingsville graduate and professional engineer brings nearly two decades of transportation experience to the METRO Board. As Executive Director of HCTRA Treviño is responsible for capital and other assets totaling $4.7 billion.

Treviño said serving the residents of Harris County is an honor and he looks forward to advancing an equitable transportation system that connects all people to jobs, education, and other vital services.
"I'm passionate about transportation because it plays such a significant role in the welfare and prosperity of our communities and the people who live in them," said Treviño. "When we improve access to opportunity for everyone, we all flourish."
