GridMatrix, a trailblazer in the realm of intelligent transportation systems, is proud to welcome Kilsheimer & Associates President Joe Kilsheimer to its advisory board. Kilsheimer is an accomplished public servant with an impressive track record in government affairs, consulting, and journalism. The former Mayor of Apopka, Florida, and current Executive Director of the Florida Waste-to-Energy Coalition, Kilsheimer brings a wealth of experience and expertise that will play a pivotal role in advancing our mission to transform the world of transportation systems.

During his time as mayor, Kilsheimer spearheaded an impressive overhaul of Apopka’s aging infrastructure, breathing new life into the city. Under Kilsheimer’s transformative leadership, Apopka rebuilt the city’s parks and created an award-winning summer youth employment program, fostering a sense of community and well-being.

Kilsheimer’s commitment to environmental stewardship didn’t stop at Apopka’s city limits. He actively participated in the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the Florida League of Cities, contributing to the environmental policy committees of each organization. This involvement showcases his dedication to sustainable practices, a vision that aligns perfectly with GridMatrix’s focus on intelligent transportation systems that prioritize eco-friendliness.

“I am very excited about GridMatrix and the opportunity to help them put their groundbreaking technology to work on behalf of local communities,” said Kilsheimer. “The GridMatrix team has discovered an ingenious way of putting existing — and underutilized — assets to work in a way that puts high-value data into the hands of transportation managers and public officials. The result will be better solutions for managing traffic in virtually every market in the world.”

“As GridMatrix continues to innovate and lead in the field of intelligent transportation systems, we recognize the value of diverse perspectives and experiences,” said Nicholas D’Andre, CEO of GridMatrix. “Joe Kilsheimer’s extensive background in municipal infrastructure and his commitment to sustainable practices make him a natural fit for our advisory board. With Joe’s guidance, we aim to elevate our transportation solutions to new heights, with a focus on sustainability, efficiency, and community well-being.”

GridMatrix is excited to embark on this new chapter with Joe Kilsheimer. His expertise and passion for sustainable infrastructure align perfectly with our mission to revolutionize the world of transportation systems. Together, we will work towards creating a future where transportation is not only intelligent but also environmentally responsible, efficient, and community-focused.
