Ray Minjares
Climate and Health LeadWorks out of: San Francisco
Started w/ ICCT: 5 years ago
Background
Ray Minjares focuses on the science of transportation pollution to quantify its climate and health impacts and to identify best practice policies for addressing these impacts simultaneously. In 2007 he earned a masters degree in public health with a concentration in health policy and management from UC Berkeley School of Public Health. He has previously worked with the Environmental and Energy Study Institute, where he managed the National Clean Bus Project and for the American Cancer Society where he supported implementation of the organization’s national strategic plan. In 2002 Mr. Minjares earned his bachelor’s degree from UCLA. In 2001 he studied in Santiago, Chile and speaks fluent Spanish. He is a native of Los Angeles, CA where vehicle traffic and pollution are a way of life. He now lives in Berkeley, CA and no longer owns a car.
