We Lost One of the Greats: Roy Nakadegawa

Planning
Roy Nakadegawa was a
founding Board member of TRANSDEF. He contributed
his vast
experience in public transit
and his financial
support to our small non-profit’s efforts to focus
Bay Area transportation planning on
cost-effectiveness. Our goal was public transit
investments that benefit many more residents.
Roy agreed to put himself forward, along with fellow former BART Director Sherman Lewis, as a named plaintiff in a suit brought by TRANSDEF to stop MTC from moving funds from the proposed Dumbarton Rail Project to the BART Warm Springs project. TRANSDEF vehemently opposed this billion dollar wasteful project. In agreeing to do so, Roy truly walked his talk.
TRANSDEF is very grateful for Roy’s assistance over the years and offers its condolences to his large family. We will miss him.
