Date: 25/09/2021

On September 24, Snohomish County Transportation Coalition (Snotrac) held a speaker forum with Paulo Nunes-Ueno of Front and Centered.

Front and Centered is the largest coalition of communities of color-led groups in the Pacific Northwest, whose diverse missions and work come together at the intersection of equity, environmental and climate justice. Front and Centered has led the effort for a bolder state transportation package, one that would spend half the expenditure on transit, walking, biking, and ADA needs.

Paulo is a nationally recognized leader on transportation issues. His career started at King County Metro’s Commute Trip Reduction Program. He made waves as the Director of Transportation and Sustainability for Seattle Children’s Hospital where he led innovative investments and programming that reduced the hospital's drive alone rate while the hospital doubled in size. He then served as the Director of Transit and Mobility at the Seattle Department of Transportation before starting his own consultancy, which includes Front and Centered's transportation policy advocacy.
