Jean Ruestman
Administrator, Office of Passenger Transportation
Michigan Department of Transportation


Jean Ruestman is the Administrator of the Office of Passenger Transportation for the Michigan Department of Transportation. She has worked for MDOT for over 28 years. Her interest in the convergence of public and private partnerships in the shared mobility ecosystem, as well as the impact automated vehicles and infrastructure will have on transportation services led to her involvement with the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and her role as co-chair of the standing committee on Emerging and Innovative Public Transport and Technologies. She is the project lead for the $8 Million Michigan Mobility Challenge, and last year was promoted to her current position where she will guide the state’s oversight and involvement of public transportation programs in the quickly-evolving era of new mobility.
