Peter Gertler has 23 years of experience in public transportation and program management across the United States and around the world. Since joining the firm in 2004, Gertler has worked as a project manager, technical lead, West Division sales officer and is currently the chairman of HNTB’s high-speed rail services.

With interest in high-speed rail spurred by the 2009 stimulus package, the United States is in the midst of an unparalleled undertaking that will significantly alter the way Americans travel and commute. Under Gertler’s leadership, HNTB has become a leader in that undertaking as one of the top firms bringing high-speed rail to America – most recently serving as the project manager for the California High-Speed Rail Engineering and Environmental Studies project (Los Angeles to San Diego Corridor, Sacramento, Calif.)

Throughout his career, Gertler has focused on developing and implementing public transportation alternatives through comprehensive and innovative technical and analytical means, as well as through broad-based community and stakeholder outreach.
