Since joining RMI in 2014, Lynn has been a member of the Transportation team working on a variety of projects, including analysis and research supporting Transportation’s expansion from a vehicle fitness focus to a whole-systems approach. With the selection of Austin as the Mobility Transformation (MTX) initiative’s core city, Lynn managed the Mobility as a Service project, helping develop the project’s emphasis on commuting and employer-based solutions. In 2016, Lynn led the implementation of MTX’s first on-the-ground pilot in Austin, launching a holistic package of commuting benefits shared by multiple Austin employers and negotiating the launch of microtransit provider, Chariot, in its first market outside of San Francisco.
Currently, Lynn co-leads the development of a marketplace platform to streamline and scale MTX outcomes in Austin to other cities.
