Geoff is a Registered Professional Planner (RPP) in Canada and a Transportation Demand Management Certified Professional (TDM-CP) with experience across Canada, the UK and the United States. Geoff co-leads Steer’s TDM Practice and is an expert at TDM implementation and program delivery. His wider experience includes multimodal integration, active transportation, transit and station area planning, and urban freight and his expertise in strategic planning, policy development, data-driven decision-making, partnership development, and evaluation provide clients with solutions-focused advice they can count on.

Geoff joined Steer in 2008 and has helped lead the growth of the company’s transportation demand management (TDM) and behaviour change offer across North America. He pioneered Steer’s approaches to employer outreach programs, transportation management associations and private sector commute programs, and has built a strong reputation on the West Coast. He has also supported clients in all levels of government, institutions such as hospitals and universities, a range of private sector industries – from global tech firms to developers to retailers, and non-profit organizations with a transportation mandate.

Over the past 15 years, Geoff has led the development of several important regional guidelines documents for TransLink, Vancouver’s transportation planning agency, including Transit Passenger Facilities Design Guidelines, Transit-Oriented Communities Design Guidelines, Transit Service Guidelines, and TDM Guidelines for Developments. He has also fostered a strong relationship with the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), leading the team that delivers their Employer Commuter Program to significantly grow the program to over 600 employers and more than tripling the number that are recognized for actively contributing to reducing vehicle trips and congestion through SANDAG’s Diamond Awards.
