It’s official! Chris Dorrington has returned to MDT. Director Dorrington worked here from 2006 – 2016, then moved to Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to lead the Air, Energy, and Mining Division. In 2021 he was appointed Director for DEQ. With his vast knowledge of Montana’s transportation system and backed by MDT’s remarkable workforce, Director Dorrington has hit the pavement running. Welcome back!

Last week, MDT received the inaugural "Tracking to Zero" award from BNSF Railway, for our dedication to improving grade crossing safety in our communities. We, along with fellow state DOT's in Idaho, New Mexico, and Wyoming, averaged less than one grade crossing incident per one million BNSF train miles traveled in our state in 2023. Safety is a top priority for MDT, and we are honored to receive this award!

Corporal Adam Romkema of MDT’s Motor Carrier Services (MCS) Division has been honored with the Medal of Valor for extraordinary courage to protect or preserve human life. This Montana Federation of Public Employees award recognizes Cpl. Romkema’s actions when he was first on the scene of a multi-vehicle crash during a blizzard near Twin Bridges. He put his mass casualty incident training to work quickly securing the scene and directing local emergency responders until the Madison County Sheriff and Montana Highway Patrol could arrive. MCS officers are rarely first to respond to a crash, and this is not part of their regular duties. Well done, Cpl. Romkema! MDT is proud to have you on our team.

On June 25, 2024, MCS had four officers graduate from the Montana Law Enforcement Academy. The graduation ceremony took place in Helena and was the 184th Session of the Law Enforcement Officer Basic Course. Please join us in congratulating Branden Bulik, Earl Gaub, Nathan Harriman, and Levi Selfridge. We are honored to have you join our team!
