Staff Training:

Educating planners and engineers on legislative requirements in climate/transportation policy and how to lead the state of the practice in the industry

“Lauren has been a key member of our firm’s highly-valued efforts devoted to transportation solutions for sustainable global climate, energy and health.  She has worked closely with a select group of senior company leaders in strategy development.  She has also undertaken important activities, including facilitation among public, private and academic sector interests in this most critical area of transportation’s societal influence.  Through those activities I have observed Lauren handle complex and challenging situations with energy, intelligence, empathy and professionalism.”

~Jerry Walters, Chief Technical Officer, Fehr & Peers~

Program Development:

Developing transportation and climate change policy curriculum/programs for academic institutions, private/non-profit organizations, and public agencies

“When Lauren helped me teach a transportation policy course at UC Davis in 2007 and 2009, she showed an outstanding ability to translate transportation research and practices to a large undergraduate audience.”

~Dr. Daniel Sperling, Director, Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Davis~

“Lauren is committed to contributing to the education, understanding and advancement of transportation issues to the community and within the industry.  She has developed the rare capability to meaningfully contribute to the future of transportation – from socioeconomic transportation planning research to grassroots fundamental industry awareness with our nation’s youth.”

~Judy Matsui Drury, Women’s Transportation Seminar (President, Sacramento Chapter, 2007-08)~

Public Outreach:

Presenting complex policy frameworks in easily understandable terms to engage both members of the public and experts in the field

“Lauren has an eagle eye and night owl vision in her view of transportation policy.   She presents a comprehensive policy overview, showing how all the pieces fit together clearly.  May more policy thinkers see and speak with such clarity, so they can help convince the everyday citizen to change behavior.  Thank you for moving this effort forward.”
