Event Details

Please join YPT for a leadership seminar with Mr. Clayton Lane, the co-founder of PhillyCarShare.  This seminar will discuss the business aspects of car sharing as well as policies, impacts, and the future outlook.

About the speaker: Clayton Lane is the COO of EMBARQ, and is currently serving as its Acting Director.  EMBARQ, which is part of the World Resource Institute (WRI) environmental think tank, is a global network that catalyzes environmentally and financially sustainable transportation solutions to improve quality of life in cities.  Prior to joining EMBARQ, Mr. Lane co-founded and directed PhillyCarShare, the non-profit organization that provides environmentally friendly “cars by the hour” from hundreds of neighborhood locations in Philadelphia. Under his leadership, the organization helped remove about 20,000 cars, reduce driving by 50 million miles, and save about 4 million gallons of gas.

Mr. Lane has also served as a Professional Associate and Lead Planner for Parsons Brinckerhoff, where he became a recognized expert in transit planning and FTA New Starts projects. He designed rail and bus facilities and services; developed operating cost models; projected ridership; led long-range planning efforts; assessed regional land use impacts; and taught “best practices” regarding the same.

Mr. Lane earned his master’s in city planning and his master’s of science in transportation from M.I.T., and holds a bachelors degree in civil engineering systems from the University of Pennsylvania.
