TMACC's 2019 Annual Meeting features Keynote Speaker Jana Lynott from AARP, our year in review, and presentation of our Annual Member Awards of transportation projects and advocates.
Jana Lynott is a Senior Strategic Policy Advisor with AARP Public Policy Institute’s Livable Communities team. As a researcher, writer, videographer, and keynote speaker, Jana brings to her work a passion for the role community design and transportation service play in the health and quality of life of people of all ages, abilities, and incomes.
Her current research explores how “disruptive” technologies may influence the form and delivery of transportation services of the future. Her recent publications cover a variety of topics such as transit-oriented development, human services transportation coordination, accessible street design, and the travel patterns of older adults.
Jana was responsible for the development of AARP’s groundbreaking Livability Index, initially released in 2015. This first-of-its-kind online tool measures how well every neighborhood in the United States meets residents’ needs. It uses a scoring system of 60 indicators spread across seven categories of livability: housing, neighborhood, transportation, environment, health, engagement, and opportunity.
Jana manages AARP’s transportation research agenda and is responsible for the development of policy related to transportation and other livable communities issues adopted by the AARP Board of Directors and presented in the AARP Policy Book.
