Brad Freeze - NDOT

Brad Freeze

The Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure announced Friday the addition of a chief engineer to its leadership team as assistant director.

Brad Freeze — previously the director of the traffic operations division at the Tennessee Department of Transportation — now takes his talents to the newly established NDOT to serve as assistant director starting on Nov. 1. In the more local role, he will pivot to strategic leadership to communicate with Mayor John Cooper’s office and Metro Council on the administration's transportation plan. He will occupy the highest permanent position in the agency under Faye DiMassimo, a senior adviser to Cooper who took the helm as NDOT’s interim director in August.
