Lisa Kay did not start her career in transportation, but in every role she saw the impact transportation had on people. Through those experiences, assisting commuters and employers, and being part of cutting edge research, she brings a unique perspective on how transportation connects people to life.
Lisa Kay Schweyer is Foursquare ITP’s TDM service area lead. Her transportation career began in 2003, helping commuters and employers learn about transportation options as manager of the regional CommuteInfo program in southwestern Pennsylvania. When she started, she did not know an SOV from HOV. Still, she knew transportation was a barrier for people (to jobs, healthcare, community resources, etc.).
She joined the Traffic21/Mobility21 University Transportation Center at Carnegie Mellon University in 2018. She supported researchers studying technology and artificial intelligence to improve mobility for people and goods.
Lisa Kay is a member of the TRB TDM Standing Committee and the Association for Commuter Transportation (ACT) Board. In 2020, she earned ACT’s TDM – Certified Planner and Cribs for Kids Women of Achievement Award. In 2019, Lisa Kay received ACT’s President Award for Extraordinary Service, and in 2016, Pennsylvania Public Transportation Association’s Superstars of Transit: Distinguished Service Award for Community Service.
