WSP USA has named Christopher Body as Vice President and Senior Business Development Director Mobility Operations, with responsibility for development and pursuit of tolling, traffic management center, transit, rail and other programs in North America. He will collaborate with other WSP business sectors, as well as with regional and national leadership, “to position the firm as a preferred and trusted choice for transportation projects.”

Body joins WSP USA after nearly 16 years with Kapsch TrafficCom, an international supplier of intelligent toll collection systems, most recently as Vice President Sales, Northeast. He previously served as Vice President of Business Development. His career extends more than 30 years and includes experience with sales and marketing for transportation management and data collection systems with two U.S.-based firms, Grey Island Systems International, Inc. and Orbital Sciences. He also served as a senior staff engineer, international liaison and Director of Operations for the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS).

Body is a graduate of Penn State University with a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, and the University of Baltimore with a master’s degree in Business Administration. He is also a 2018 graduate of the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association (IBTTA) Leadership Academy. He is a board member of the New York chapter of ITS, a member of the IBTTA meeting planning group, and a board member for the Mileage Based User Fee Alliance.

“Few can match the experience and sustained success that Chris has had throughout his career advancing toll collection technology and intelligent transportation systems,” said Patrick McGowan, WSP National Mobility Operations Director. “This is an extremely important time for mobility operations across the U.S. and for WSP, and we are honored to be able to have someone of his skill and commitment join us to serve our clients and help them solve their [problems] to create robust, efficient and innovative transportation systems.”
