Matthew Popek

Matthew has spent over nine years as a transportation planner with his home area of Montgomery County, PA, working on road, bridge, trail, and (most importantly) transit projects and policy throughout the Philadelphia suburban region. Matthew has seen firsthand the power of mass transit to bring opportunity and connectivity to communities throughout his service region, but he has also seen efforts to expand public transit networks fail. He is dedicated to working with like-minded individuals to ensure that the benefits of mobility and possibility are brought to as many people as possible, and that the changes that follow from transformative investment are made with an eye towards local participation, community betterment, and a more equitable future.
