Dave Snyder is a long-time organizer and advocate for socially just transportation and land-use policies. He rides his bike for most trips, including when he should probably walk and enjoy the sights and sounds of the sidewalk.

At SPUR, his work largely will be oriented toward making Muni better and faster. Before SPUR, he served as executive director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition from 1991 to 2002, building the organization from a handful of members to a powerhouse of 4,500. He then founded Transportation for a Livable City and served as its chief executive for two years, then as the director of program development for the Thunderhead Alliance. He received a Bachelor of Arts in politics, magna cum laude, from St. Andrews Presbyterian College.
