Janet R. Phillips (formerly Carson), P.E., is founder (2003) and President of the Tahoe-Pyramid Bikeway and provides much of its strategic vision and day-to-day effort, along with a talented team of volunteer professionals.  Janet has degrees in Economics from Stanford and in Water Resources Engineering from UCLA, and is a licensed civil engineer.  Her paid career was spent managing the water resources of the Truckee and Carson Rivers, and it is her passion for the Truckee River today that motivates her to create a pedestrian and bike trail along the entire length of the River from Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake—116 miles!
