“As the crossroads of America, our roads and transportation are critical for driving economic growth in our state,” the governor said in a statement.

Quist, who joined INDOT in 2013, served in several executive roles for agency – including capital program management director in the LaPorte District; manager of design and environmental scoping for the LaPorte District; and managing director of project delivery for the entire agency – before being named INDOT deputy commissioner for capital program management in May 2022.

[Editor’s note: INDOT recently produced a video explaining how it is using new intersection designs to improve motorist safety and reduce vehicle crashes.]

Before joining INDOT, she worked for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in its New Orleans District in Louisiana.

Quist – who holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Purdue University – is a licensed professional engineer in Louisiana and Indiana as well as a certified project management professional.
