Sahar is passionate about enhancing equity, sustainability, and access in communities through local, regional, and national mobility solutions. Sahar is an experienced problem solver and has spent most of her career tackling complex issues that span multiple stakeholders. From coordinating across 14 federal agencies at the Office of Management and Budget, to engaging with California’s diverse communities and international partners for the Governor’s Office, to her daily activities in mobility and land use planning, she works to frame the goals and outcomes, then dig into the nuance to make solutions actionable. Sahar’s varied background spans across policy and planning arenas—including transportation, land use, environment, housing, economic development, public health, and equity—and focuses on the intersections and connections between goals. She sees mobility as an opportunity to rethink the way our cities and towns are formed and address past mistakes that caused direct and indirect harm to communities. Prior to joining Nelson Nygaard, Sahar served as planning and policy lead for emerging mobility at WSP, senior planning advisor in the office of California Governor Jerry Brown, policy analyst for the Office of the Secretary at USDOT, policy lead at the Office of Management and Budget at the White House during the Obama Administration, and as a preschool teacher for 10 years. Sahar currently lives in Oakland, where she is a planning commissioner, Adjunct Professor at Mills College, local political and policy schemer, neighborhood benefit planner, and lazy bike rider.
