Barnali Ghosh
Chair, Transportation Commission
City of Berkeley, and
Coordinating Committee Member
Walk Bike Berkeley

Ghosh currently serves as the chair of the Berkeley Transportation Commission, and most recently, as the mayor’s appointee to the Planning Commission. A registered California Landscape architect, she's spent a decade designing public parks, schools, and streets across California and brings her experience to her commission and organizing work to develop local solutions to the global issue of climate change.

She is on the coordinating committee of Walk Bike Berkeley, which advocates for a healthy, equitable, and sustainable transportation system in Berkeley. In the wake of the murder of George Floyd, Ghosh combined her focus on transportation safety and racial justice, as one of the lead advocates for the Berkeley Department of Transportation, a planned city department that would bring together transportation engineers, designers and unarmed traffic enforcement in an effort to create safe streets for all, an idea that has received national media coverage. She also serves on the City’s Reimagining Public Safety Task Force.
