City of Hoboken welcomes new Transportation and Parking Director Steven Weber

Mayor Ravi S. Bhalla today announced the City of Hoboken's new Director of Transportation and Parking Steven Weber who joins the Administration with more than two decades of experience in transportation planning and public policy. His career includes senior management roles for large cities, nonprofit organizations, and international consulting firms.

"Steven brings a wealth of experience and creativity to Hoboken, making him the ideal leader to guide our city's transportation and parking initiatives," said Mayor Bhalla. "His track record in enhancing mobility, sustainability, and infrastructure will be critical as he provides safe and efficient transportation options for our residents. I am excited to welcome Steven to our team, and I look forward to working with him as we continue to improve micromobility and infrastructure across Hoboken."

Previously, Weber served as Assistant Commissioner for Strategic Planning and Project Development at the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT), where he led key initiatives to expand Bus Rapid Transit programs, optimize parking, and reduce congestion. He also led the Transportation team for PlaNYC, New York City's comprehensive sustainability plan, and established the Office of Freight Mobility to enhance deliveries while minimizing community impact.

During his time at NYC DOT and as a Lower Manhattan Borough Commissioner, Weber managed multimillion-dollar infrastructure projects, including the revitalization of Lower Manhattan following 9/11, overseeing $138 million in street reconstruction efforts and coordinated public infrastructure and utility construction with private commercial and residential development projects.

"I am honored to join the City of Hoboken and excited to work with Mayor Bhalla and his administration to advance safe and sustainable transportation initiatives," said Weber. "Hoboken's commitment to innovation and mobility is inspiring, and I look forward to contributing to projects that enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors alike."

Following a nationwide search that garnered over 40 applicants, Weber began on Jan. 21. The Administration will seek the advice and consent of the City Council at the Feb. 5 council meeting.

Weber holds a Master's Degree in City and Regional Planning from Rutgers University and a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and Certificate in Environmental Studies from Dickinson College.
