Carolyn Catlos
Trucks Off Our Street and
SW Detroit Chargeway Project
Manager

Carolyn Catlos was born and raised in Port Huron, Michigan, and has spent the last 14 years living in Detroit, with a brief jaunt to Houston. She began working closely with Southwest Detroit Environmental Vision (SDEV) after organizing, as a resident, around concerns about traffic violence, traffic fatalities, and trucking in her neighborhood. Carolyn is currently working on the Southwest Detroit Chargeway, a resident-led, network of community-owned greenspaces, that will house community-owned electric mobility solutions. She also coordinates a city-wide table geared toward reducing environmental triggers of asthma, through the development of truck routing and regulation. Carolyn finds joy in learning from the incredible network of Environmental Justice organizations that have operated historically in Detroit. She has developed a passion for grant finding and writing. It is her pleasure to seek and secure support for resident-initiated solutions to environmental abuses. She hopes to continue to support residents working toward land-based, restorative, and remediating projects.
