Dan Zukowski

Senior Reporter, TransportationSmart Cities Dive

I am the senior reporter for transportation at Smart Cities Dive, where I cover trends and developments in public transportation, autonomous vehicles, urban air mobility, passenger rail and related federal and congressional actions.

Previously, I served as a feature writer and correspondent for Trains magazine, and my byline has appeared in CityLab, Grist, Salon, Sierra magazine, Hakai, Mongabay, Pacific Standard, and elsewhere. My writing career began as a business journalist for the WardsAuto group of automotive industry publications, reporting on manufacturers and suppliers, along with consumer, marketing and government issues.

Between stints in journalism, I've led the national public relations accounts at major agencies for Kawasaki, Honda and Toyota, counseling CEOs and upper management.

I frequently contribute photography to accompany my stories and my fine art images have been exhibited in galleries and juried shows. 

I am a member of the Lexington Group for Transportation History, the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE), and Investigative Reporters & Editors (IRE).
