Professional Bio

Hi there! My name is Savannah and I have been in the TDM industry since 2019. I started with the Knoxville Transportation Planning Organization in Knoxville, TN as the coordinator of the Smart Trips program. In 2021, I accepted the role as director of DriveElectricTN and advocated for the incorporation of TDM practices in Tennessee's electrification roadmap refresh. In the Fall of 2023, I joined TDOT's Long Range Planning division where I serve as an Air Quality Planning Specialist and project manager for the Statewide TDM Plan update. Our TDM team at TDOT is planning to launch one cohesive TDM program for Tennessee by Summer 2025.

In my free time, I am an advocate for active transportation for public health and air quality reasons. One of my passions is helping women build their confidence while biking on Tennessee's roadways. I stay actively involved in organizations like spokeswomen, Two Bikes, and the Transportation Research Board. I am also actively pursuing my TDM-CP certification, PMP certification, and an MBA at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
