department of environment where i manage the commuter transportation programs and outreach services. my interest and experiences also is not only limited to transportation. i understand the factors that contribute to making a complete functioning and vibrant neighborhood for residents and visitors including access to basic services, amenities to parks and schools. on a personal level, i grew up in san francisco and lived in the area for years. i also work in the planning area and understand the multi- modal areas and in the current and future developments that open over the course of the year.
