We’re pleased to share that Jason Wagner has been named APC’s next Executive Vice President, succeeding Bob Latham, who is retiring at the end of the year after more than 25 years leading APC and 46 years of service to the transportation construction industry.

Jason currently serves as APC’s Director of Policy and Government Relations, a role he’s held since joining the association in December 2006. He has advocated for APC members before state and federal agencies, helped shape industry policy, and managed APC’s advocacy programs and TCI-PAC. He also serves as Managing Director of the Pennsylvania Highway Information Association (PHIA).

Jason will began transitioning from his current role on September 1, 2026, and will assume full EVP responsibilities on January 1, 2027.

“The process for selecting APC’s next Executive Vice President began at APC’s 2025 Summer retreat. Using an outside search firm and a diverse search committee, candidates were vetted and progressed through a comprehensive search process. Ultimately, Jason was selected due to how his vision, experience, leadership and passion for moving the transportation industry forward aligned with priorities defined by the members and leaders of APC,” said Mark Gentile, APC President.

Before joining APC, Jason served as a research analyst for the Pennsylvania House Transportation Committee, where he helped shape legislation and prepared policy analyses on bridge and highway funding, motor vehicle law, and other transportation issues. He holds a Bachelor of Science in public service from Penn State and is an Eagle Scout.

“I’m humbled by the confidence the board has shown in me and honored by the trust placed in me to carry APC’s mission forward. This industry is built by the men and women who rebuild Pennsylvania’s roads and bridges every day, and advocating on their behalf is my personal mission. I’m fully committed to that work as we begin this next chapter together,” said Wagner.

Jason is active in the central Pennsylvania community as a baseball umpire for two local associations and the PIAA, and previously served as president of his local youth athletic association for more than 12 years. He’s a member of Trinity Presbyterian Church, where he serves on its board of elders. He resides in Lower Swatara Township with his wife, Susan, and the couple has three adult children.

Please join us in congratulating Jason on this well-deserved appointment.
