A frequent speaker on Transit-Oriented Development and Public-Private Partnerships, Jayme has presented at numerous conferences, seminars and workshops in recent years. In November 2007, Jayme was awarded the Secretary’s Award for Outstanding Achievement (Gold Medal), the Department of Transportation’s highest honor, for work he performed to implement the National Strategy to Reduce Congestion on America’s Transportation Network.
Jayme currently lives with his beautiful wife Katie and son Lucas in Alexandria, Virginia, where he serves as Vice-Chair of the Alexandria Transportation Commission and attends the Alexandria 2nd Ward. Jayme got his undergraduate degree in Philosophy from BYU before attending law school at the University of Utah.
Welcome Jayme. I’m looking forward to your posts.
Welcome, Jayme! He sounds like a great guest.
Is he by any chance related to a former JI guest-blogger whose article shows up in the current Dialogue? (It was also in the published in the Summer Fellows collection a few years ago, which is a really good anthology.)
If so, perhaps he’s just too modest to mention it.
Two thumbs up for DC metro area peeps!
Are you ever in for a treat Jayme…
Hello everybody. I expect to finish my first post soon.
Kaimi: My wife Katie is the vanguard in our family. She has published a bit, most recently in Dialogue, and done some blogging on JI.
Most of my posts will be on the themes of community and place.
I’m looking forward to the interaction. Thanks for setting me up, Marc.
Best,
Jayme
