  I was responsible for managing transportation planning and design. Work included management of and technical work on a variety of transportation and land use planning projects. Projects included transit planning, multimodal corridor studies in urban and rural areas, multimodal district transportation plans, conceptual design of transportation facilities, and TOD and station area studies.

Modal issues considered transit, pedestrian, bicycle, auto – and in one case horse and buggy transportation – and developing strategies that enabled them all to contribute to mobility and quality of life in the project area.
