Welcome to the Cascade Chapter! 
My name is Daniel Heldring, and I am honored to serve as the Cascade Chapter President alongside a distinguished group of TDM professionals.
As of January 2026, the Cascade Chapter comprised over 220 individuals representing more than 75 member organizations. Our members include state and local transportation departments, transit agencies, Transportation Management Associations (TMAs), major corporations, universities, and consulting firms.
Our goal is to host engaging and informative events throughout the year, both virtually and in person. Recent activities have included hosting networking events during ACT International Conferences, leading a tour of Microsoft’s Redmond campus, and organizing an on-site visit to the construction zone for the newest SkyTrain line in Vancouver, BC. We also conduct quarterly meetings, which we refer to as Coffee with Colleagues. Details of all upcoming scheduled events are provided below.
Additionally, we strive to represent TDM interests at the state and local levels, complementing the advocacy efforts undertaken by ACT International at the federal level.
We value collaboration within our professional community and hope to see you at one of our future events.
