Paul Lewis, ONU engineering alumnus, was recently named a 2016 Top 40 Under 40 by Mass Transit Magazine.
Lewis is Vice President of Policy and Finance at the Eno Center for Transportation where he directs Eno’s policy research programs, including paper development and event organization.
Since joining Eno five years ago, Lewis has been instrumental in the organization's growth in the transportation policy field, while simultaneously balancing his role as the financial manager and leading a rapidly growing policy team.
His portfolio of work has addressed critical issues in transit, such as Eno’s transit governance report with Transitcenter, “Getting to the Route of It,” and smaller pieces for Eno Transportation Weekly such as “Houston Has a Shiny New Bus Network.” His passion for transportation goes beyond projects; anyone who knows Lewis knows about his enthusiasm for trains and buses.
Beyond his skills as a policy writer and team manager, Lewis's fiscal acumen has helped Eno reduce costs by 10 percent, securing the financial stability of an organization that has been a critical part of the transit industry for 95 years. Lewis’s involvement in the transportation world extends beyond Eno.
In 2015, he served as president of the Young Professionals in Transportation Washington, D.C. Chapter.
Lewis received his B.S. in Civil Engineering from Ohio Northern University and his M.S. in Transportation from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Before joining the Eno team, Lewis was a contractor at MIT, conducting research on freight rail economics and policy.
