Administrator Update – June 2021

Dear local agencies, consultants, and partners-

For many of us, the last few months have been full of excitement and change. LHTAC is no different;

  • Jeff Miles retired at the end of May and the LHTAC Council named me the new Administrator. These are undoubtedly big shoes to fill; however, I assure you I am up for the challenges ahead.
  • LHTAC staff is back in the office full-time. Although the doors were “closed” to the public over the last 15 months our team worked diligently to ensure our service to Idaho Locals was never interrupted. The doors are now open, and our team is back together on-site and in-person. Feel free to swing in and say hello if you are in the area.
  • Best of all – LHTAC staff have the green light to travel across the state. Our staff has substantially increased travel including attending on-site project meetings, regional transportation meetings, and numerous partner meetings and they are excited to see all of you.

When I began my career at LHTAC I was instantly excited about the opportunity to serve and assist the local agencies of Idaho and the excitement remains. While the Treasure Valley is my home, my roots were established growing up in rural Idaho. These combined experiences have helped me to understand the challenges facing Idaho’s local agencies from all corners of the state.

LHTAC continues to provide assistance and offer resources while growing and enhancing our services as we go.

Reach out to me if you have any questions or would like to chat about any of your local issues. I look forward to seeing you all again this year.

Laila Kral, P.E.

LHTAC Administrator
