Thursday, May 22, 2025 | 8:30 AM-10:00 AM
Join WTS-DC for coffee and conversation with Davey Kim, Senior Vice President and Principal for National Transportation Policy and Multimodal Strategy at WSP.
Based in Washington, D.C., Davey Kim collaborates with public and private senior transportation executives across the U.S., helping guide policy-making that supports federal funding for transportation projects. Davey also recently helped launch Asian American Leaders in Mobility (AALM). The LinkedIn group has a vision modeled on other professional groups, such as Latinos in Transit (LIT), the Conference of Minority Transportation Officials (COMTO) and Women's Transportation Seminar (WTS). Before joining WSP, Davey was appointed by Governor Gavin Newsom as the Secretary of the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA) in 2019, overseeing eight departments and approximately 40,000 employees. His prior roles include Vice President of Governmental Affairs at Hyundai Motor Company and Deputy Administrator of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration. Davey is a graduate of Occidental College with a bachelor’s degree in political science, and the University of Southern California with a master’s degree in public administration.

Please join your WTS-DC, COMTO DC, YPT DC, and APA TPD-DC colleagues on a bike tour highlighting bicycle infrastructure projects around the City of Alexandria. Bryan Hayes, the Complete Streets Coordinator for the City, will join us on the bike tour to share information about past, present, and upcoming bike infrastructure planning projects. PDH credits may be provided for all participants.
A map of the tentative bike tour route is available here - Bike Tour Route Map. The start/end of the route is at the Potomac Yard Metro Station North Pavilion.
The anticipated length of the route will be about 11 miles, and the pace will be suitable for beginner-level cyclists. This will be a “no-drop” ride so you do not need to worry about not keeping up or being left behind! We will be joined by our City of Alexandria representative, Bryan Hayes, to give his perspective on the City’s project development and implementation process during the bike tour. Bryan is the Complete Streets Coordinator at the Alexandria Department of Transportation and Environmental Services (T&ES).
All registered attendees will be required to bring their own bike and sign a liability waiver the morning of the event before the ride begins. Please arrive at Potomac Yard Metro Station North Pavilion at 9:15 AM. A WTS-DC member on the planning committee will meet you. Helmet use will be mandatory for this ride. Please remember to bring sun protection and water. Additional snacks and drinks will be provided thanks to the generous sponsorship of APA TPD-DC. To make the ride fun, manageable, and SAFE, this event will be capped at 40 participants, excluding our special guest and ride leaders. If registration for the event exceeds 20 people, we will split into two ride groups during the tour. This event will be held rain or shine, with a shortened ride distance if there is significant rain.
If you have any event questions, please contact Jeff Parker (WTS & COMTO), Nadiya Kutishcheva (WTS), Haoyun Wang (APA TPD), or Mehul Gupta (YPT). If you have any registration questions, please contact Laura Duke (WTS-DC Program Logistics) or Sophie Guiny (WTS-DC President).
