ACT 40 Under 40 Announced

ACT is proud to announce the recipients of the 2018 40 Under 40 Awards. These awards recognize leaders who are committed to developing programs that shift behavior and create long-lasting change within their communities and organizations. Their work makes a very real difference: their creative solutions are bringing about an improved quality of life for commuters and increased livability of communities, resulting in a better future for everyone.

The honorees represent a cross-section of TDM professionals, including public and private organizations around the country, and the work they do is varied. As a group, they are energetic, persistent, interested in professional growth opportunities, and focused on the future. “The future is very bright for TDM with this amazing group of talent rising up through the ranks and changing the way we look at addressing the transportation and mobility challenges facing our communities, said David Straus, ACT Executive Director.

These professionals were recognized during our awards ceremony on November 14, 2018, held during ACT’s 2018 TDM Forum in Nashville, TN.
