Past Fellows Dana Dickman is the recipient of the 2008-2009 Rex Burkholder and Lydia Rich Scholarship. Dana holds an undergraduate degree in Natural Resources Planning from Humboldt State University. Her focus within the program was on the impact of transportation policy decisions and resource allocation. After attaining her degree, she remained in Humboldt for six years, working for the Redwood Community Action Agency as a planner focusing on community-based non-motorized transportation planning. She is currently in the MURP program, and is working on a Field Area Paper to determine whether proximity to bike/ped, and possibly transit facilities, reduces household income expenditures on transportation. Ms. Dickman is married, and very recently gave birth to twins! As part of the award, over the coming year, she will work with Lynn Weigand, Ph.D. Director of the Initiative for Bicycle and Pedestrian Innovation, and Professor Jennifer Dill, on a research project that can help practitioners plan for more bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly communities.
Under the scholarship Lindsay helped develop the Bicycle Boulevard Guidebook, as well as helped organize the Bicycle Boulevard Fundamentals professional development course.
