Tom "Smitty" Smith

Executive Director

citizen.smitty@gmail.com


Tom “Smitty” Smith served as the State Director of Texas Public Citizen for over 30 years, working to ensure clean air and water 

and to address the elements contributing to global climate change. 

He was a key leader in developing policies that resulted in 

Texas' renewable energy boom of the 1990s and early 2000s,

and was an integral architect of the

Texas Emissions Reduction Program (TERP) 

to address air quality in Texas non-attainment cities.

 Once transportation emissions surpassed those of utilities 

as the #1 cause of greenhouse gas emissions in 2017, 

Smitty shifted his focus to help Texas transform into an electric transportation leader by becoming TxETRA's first Executive Director. He also serves on the national board of Plug-In America.
