About Edward Starks
I am a Transportation Specialist at FHWA Headquarters with over a decade of experience navigating the complexities of the National Highway System (NHS). Currently, I oversee the NHS and the $67M National Scenic Byways Program, where I manage the complete lifecycle of grant distribution and federal compliance. My work sits at the intersection of policy and action; I regularly brief Congress and senior leadership on system modifications that impact national infrastructure. By fostering partnerships across federal, state, and local levels, I ensure our transportation investments are equitable, sustainable, and results-driven.
