Oscar Gonzalez - Founders Day 2025 Honoree

BuildIT Honors…

At our May 29, 2025, Founders Day event to be held at the incomparable InterContinental Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles we will honor 9 people who have truly ‘moved the dial’ toward economic empowerment within the LGBT/Allied Design/Construction Industries.

Our first announcement highlights a remarkable advocate for LGBT/Allied inclusion who has made an extraordinary national impact due to his vision, leadership, and commitment to sustainable economic empowerment.

Oscar Gonzalez, (Boston, Massachusetts) is an experienced leader in the full range of transit and rail consulting services including recruiting and hiring, business development, strategic planning, project development and delivery, and financial management with well-rounded public and private sector experience.

Throughout his career in the mobility space, Oscar has been a stalwart leader in championing community-based and relevant transportation choices that are equitable and sustainable. Oscar learned his craft early in his journey at New Jersey Transit and the Port Authority of New York/New Jersey where the public service spirit was ingrained in his professional approach and attitude.  While at a major A & E firm, he spearheaded the development and growth of a company-wide LGBT employee resource group that ensured that our diverse voices were heard, represented and our vital contributions acknowledged. For the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), he has revived and has been leading an industry-wide LGBT resource group to provide a forum and avenue to support our community particularly front-line team members that often lack resources and representation.
