About the Speaker:
Dan Pallme is the Assistant Chief of Freight and Logistics at the Tennessee Department of Transportation.  In his role, he provides leadership on issues of rail, water, and highway freight. The division serves as a liaison between TDOT and freight stakeholders to find opportunities to improve access for existing freight and appropriately prepare for the projected increases in freight as it moves in and out of the state. 

The primary focus areas for the division include water, short-line railroads, Section 130 rail program, rail inspection, highway freight and technology, freight advisory committees, and the freight and state rail plan updates.  In April of 2021, he was additionally named Interim Multimodal Transportation Resource Division Director, which handles DOT responsibility with all transit in all 95 counties in Tennessee and bicycle and pedestrian state programs.
