Shannon Tracey

Shannon coordinates the Transportation For America campaign's partner organizations in California.  These partners (including TransForm) are working together to win federal transportation policy that actively supports a nation of world-class public transportation and neighborhoods that require less driving - all while keeping our current transportation infrastructure in great shape. 

Shannon has worked for nearly a decade in California as a community organizer on issues ranging from forest protection to economic democracy.  She has also served in communications, development, and management roles at various organizations in the Bay Area and Humboldt County.
 
Shannon has never owned a car and enjoys her quick bike commute from Lake Merritt to TransForm's downtown Oakland office.  She participates in people-powered transportation on land and sea as a hiker, cyclist, swimmer, and rower.  Shannon is originally from the northeast and holds a B.A. from Harvard University and an M.S. in Environmental Education from Lesley University.
