Joan Pasiuk, Bicycling and Walking Program Director

Joan joined Transit for Livable Communities in spring 2007 after a history of volunteer involvement, including serving as an early TLC board member. She moved into a staff position with the Bike Walk Twin Cities initiative after serving as co-chair of the Bike/Walk Advisory Committee (BWAC). She has program development and program management experience in various organizations and sectors, including the U of M School of Public Health, Outward Bound, Golle and Holmes (financial industry training), and several state agencies.

Joan has an M.A. from the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota and currently serves on the board of Mississippi Market, a natural food co-op in St. Paul. Joan is a published author and squeezes in some current work on essays and poems. She is a lifelong sustainable transportation champion and tells the story of being grounded from socializing via bicycle one summer during high school (because she worried her Mom by biking after dark) while given full use of the family car.
