Absolutely, Enrique Penalosa.  He is articulate, has professional and
political experience in "making things happen" and to boot it, he is
absolutely attention catching.

Best wishes.

Hello all,

A UN colleague of mine is interested in exploring finding someone with star
power who is (or could logically be) an advocate for public transport and
might be interested in becoming a "UN Ambassador" on the topic.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Lew
