SRTA Leadership

Jannine Miller
Executive Director
In January 2023, Jannine Miller began serving as Executive Director of the State Road and Tollway Authority (SRTA), the Atlanta-region Transit Link Authority (ATL), and the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA). Nominated by Governor Kemp and voted by the Boards of these vital transportation authorities, Ms. Miller leads three agencies that have the shared mission and focus of improving mobility in Georgia by providing reliable, safe, innovative, multimodal transportation solutions.
The Authorities’ operations include but is not limited to, the State’s Peach Pass tolling system, the Georgia Transportation Infrastructure Bank, the State’s metro-Atlanta regional commuter bus system known as Xpress, transportation and transit funding, and Transportation Improvement Program review. In addition to serving as Executive Director of the Authorities, Ms. Miller will continue serving as Governor Kemp’s appointee as Director of Planning for the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT).
Prior to GDOT, Ms. Miller served as Deputy Assistant Secretary at the U.S. Department of Transportation, advancing policy and program improvements across modes, including the Federal Railroad Administration, Federal Highway Administration, the Build America Bureau, and the Maritime Administration. She led Department-wide multimodal initiatives, such as railroad grade crossing planning, creation of the National Freight Strategic Plan, evaluating energy infrastructure policies, environmental permitting reform, assessment of a major metro area’s cordon tolling proposal and improving rural transportation networks.
In her more than two-decade career in the public and private sectors, Ms. Miller has also served in multiple other leadership, management, finance, policy, and planning roles. This includes serving as Senior Advisor to the U.S. Agriculture Secretary, the former Executive Director of GRTA, the Transportation Policy Advisor for the Governor’s Office, Senior Transportation Planner with ARC, Budget & Policy Analyst at OPB, the Logistics Center Director for the Department of Economic Development and as an ex-Officio Board Member at MARTA.
Ms. Miller has received numerous recognitions including, “Notable Georgian” and one of the state’s “Top 40 Under 40 - Best and Brightest” by Georgia Trend Magazine, “Champion for Transportation” by the Perimeter Community Improvement Districts and honored as one of the 100 Most Influential in Georgia Engineering by Georgia ACEC. She is also named as an inventor on two patents that optimize operations of public transportation infrastructure.
Ms. Miller holds a Master of Business Administration in Global Commerce from Georgia Tech, as well as a Master of Public Administration and a Bachelor of Science degree in Community Nutrition from Georgia State University.
