WSP

Rubstello

Patty Rubstello has joined WSP as a national transportation strategic advisor.

In her new role, Rubstello, who served more than 33 years with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) in a variety of roles, provides leadership and strategic direction to project teams working to identify, develop and deliver multimodal and tolling initiatives for clients nationwide.

Based in Seattle, Rubstello most recently served WSDOT as assistant secretary of Washington State Ferries, where she oversaw a budget of more than $1.25 billion, a fleet of 21 vessels, a workforce of nearly 2,000 people and more than 17 million customers annually.

She was a driving force behind efforts to convert the largest vessels in the fleet to hybrid electric and design new vessels capable of running nearly 100 percent on battery power. She also oversaw the replacement of the ferry terminal at Seattle's Colman Dock.

Rubstello is credited with forming and managing Washington State's Urban Mobility and Access office, which included the toll division, regional transit coordination division and the management of mobility division.

Her industry associations include active membership in the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association (IBTTA), where she founded the Women in Tolling Council in 2020. She earned a Lifetime Achievement Award from IBTTA in 2023.
