About Dave Roth

I\'ve spent my career working to make it easier for people to get where they need to go without a car, whether that\'s building better bike networks, shaping regional transit policy, or rethinking how cities plan for movement at a human scale.Today, as Director of Mobility Planning and Policy at Lane Transit District, I lead efforts to connect mobility planning with broader community goals around housing, equity, climate resilience, and livability in the Eugene-Springfield region.My path here has been anything but linear. I\'ve worked as a transportation planner for cities in Oregon and British Columbia, guided bicycle tours through Europe, engineered Flyknit footwear at Nike, and taught bicycle planning at the University of Oregon. That range has given me an ability to move fluidly between big-picture strategy and on-the-ground implementation, and to bring unexpected perspectives to complex problems.I\'m particularly focused on the intersection of land use and transportation, Safe Systems, and building the policy frameworks that allow agencies and cities to make bold, strategic, and equitable decisions.
