Best wishes to Jarrett Mullen, with deep appreciation

Jarrett Mullen, El Cerrito’s sustainable transportation program from 2022 to 2026

Jarrett Mullen, El Cerrito’s first sustainable transportation program manager since 2022, is moving on to new professional horizons. We will miss him! El Cerrito has greatly benefited from his safe-streets wisdom. As mobility advocates, El Cerrito/Richmond Annex Walk & Roll appreciated his many meetings with us and we valued his support of our passion, as well as appreciated his sober feedback about what is feasible and what is not.

Before coming to El Cerrito, Jarrett was a senior transportation program manager at Fehr & Peers (a consulting firm) and before that at the City of Palo Alto. Jarrett has a deep awareness of the multidimensional implications of transportation infrastructure for a community. His mission was to not just put bike lanes on Richmond Street and at Del Norte, but to advance a network of streets safely navigable by all users: bicyclists, walkers, bus riders, motorists, children, and seniors. The objective: to allow everyone, whether they can drive a car or not, access to the things they need and desire for daily living.

Soon he will be working with the San Mateo County Transportation Authority. By comparison with El Cerrito, San Mateo County is vast in area with a greater range of transportation conditions. We are sure he will bring the same impressive commitment we experienced to his new responsibilities. 

Jarrett, farewell and best wishes!!!
