Richard Jaramillo, a native of Belen, has been named chief operating officer for the Maryland Transportation Authority. 

Richard Jaramillo

The Maryland Transportation Authority was established in 1971 by the Maryland General Assembly to finance, construct, operate, preserve and improve the state’s toll facilities, as well as to finance new revenue-producing transportation projects. The MDTA’s toll facilities — two turnpikes, two tunnels and four bridges — connect Maryland to life’s opportunities. 

Jaramillo, a former Belen city councilor, has most recently served MDTA as administrator of William Preston Lane Jr. Memorial (Bay) Bridge Facility. He has served as acting director of facility operations, and most recently as acting director of Traffic Management & Technology in our Division of Operations. 

Jaramillo also serves as a leader with the IBTTA and IAG Tolling Steering Committee focused on continuous optimization and process improvement of Operations and Electronic Toll Collection at MDTA. He serves as the IAG Operations committee chairman, which includes 29 states.
