Christa Greene, P.E. (M) is a Senior Principal and the Transportation Planning and Traffic Engineering Sub-Sector Leader with Stantec in Raleigh, NC, USA.
This past year, I was fortunate to get to know Christa better when our paths crossed in our morning trips to hotel fitness centers at ITE meetings. We’re fortunate to have leaders like Christa devote their volunteer time to ITE with her experience running her own company for several years before joining Stantec. She is encouraging and engaging, and her attention to detail makes other volunteers around her feel valuable. Her knack for problem-solving may come from being a second-generation transportation engineer. She views projects like solving a puzzle by connecting all of the pieces together, like co-chairing the TRB Urban Street Symposium.
North Carolina ITE Section leaders can’t express enough about what Christa means to NCSITE. As a North Carolina native, her heart has always been with the state in making it a better place for her community. She has been inspired by pioneering women in the industry like Emily Blount, the first female professional engineer in North Carolina. Today she mentors younger professionals and has been recognized for her integrity, honesty, professionalism, excellent work ethic, dedication, leadership, and record of ITE service having received the Robert J. Dodge Professional Image, R.V. Moss Lifetime Service and President’s Awards. In the past decade, Christa has held just about every position in the North Carolina ITE Section, in addition to serving as the Section Representative for the Southern District. Presently, she is vice chair of the Traffic Engineering Council, ITE’s most significant technical council.
When you come to New Orleans in August, I’m sure you will find us both in the hotel fitness center in the morning (but don’t go looking for the 15 lb. dumbbells). And while we may be talking ITE, there is a good chance we’ll be talking about other interests we have in common such as travel, baseball, the latest Broadway play, helping Zaki Mustafa and his Transforming a Life Foundation of providing coats to the homeless, our college teams (she is a die-hard NC State Wolfpack fan), axe flinging or creating sand castles (her daughter is a champion sand castle creator). Whatever it is, we both believe through transportation you can Shape Your Community.
