Lydia Kelly joined the MPO in January 2005. She graduated from John Jay High School and has a Bachelor’s of Business Administration from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Lydia retired from the United States Army Reserves as a Master Sergeant in 2004. Since the third grade when she got her first bicycle, cycling and walking have been her preferred forms of transportation. As the Bicycle/Pedestrian Planner, Lydia especially enjoys speaking to the public on the benefits of active, alternative transportation. She truly believes that if we are going to reduce transportation congestion, carbon emissions and improve the overall health of the region, the community needs to embrace, and people need to be comfortable, with active forms of transportation such as walking, cycling and transit.
