Nunes-Ueno Consulting designs the operating systems of institutional mobility — the policies, pricing, services, and governance that keep universities, medical campuses, airports, and large employers moving.
Principal
Paulo Nunes-Ueno
Paulo started his career at King County Metro Transit, managing transportation demand management plans for Seattle-area employers under Washington State’s Commute Trip Reduction program. That early work — helping institutions meet real mode-shift targets, not just write plans — still shapes how he practices today.
He went on to run transportation from the inside: as Director of Transportation and Sustainability at Seattle Children’s Hospital, where a comprehensive program cut employee drive-alone trips by 25 points; and as founding Director of the Transit and Mobility Division at the Seattle Department of Transportation, bringing transit, parking, and shared mobility under one roof.
Since 2016 he has led Nunes-Ueno Consulting as principal, working with universities, medical campuses, airports, and major employers — including Princeton, Johns Hopkins, Oregon State, Sea-Tac, Amazon, and Western Washington University — often in partnership with firms such as Jarrett Walker + Associates and KPS Group. The through-line is the same: build a machine the institution can keep running after the consultants leave.
