DANIEL VILLANUEVA

Immediate past PRESIDENT

Mr. Villanueva serves as AECOM’s Northeast Rail Transit System’s lead and is responsible for the firm’s Rail Transit Systems discipline and is the Manager of the Rail Transit System Department of the Philadelphia Office.   Current clients include Amtrak, SEPTA, Houston Metro and Caltrain.

Daniel is an active and dedicated member of the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) Committee 33, the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) and most importantly the Conference of Minority Transportation Officials (COMTO).    

Mr. Villanueva career goals include fomenting, delivering, and facilitating access to public transportation for those in need.  Including having a greater influence on policies, advocacy and legislation that directly impact our communities.   Our inner cities and urban areas depend on public transportation to meet basic human needs.  The underrepresentation of minorities in the public transportation industry in decision-making roles continues the ongoing challenge of providing accessible public transportation in underprivileged communities.
