Specialties and credentials

  • Traffic operations and signals

    Timing signal networks so a corridor actually flows. Highly technical, always in demand.

  • Transportation planning

    Twenty year plans, travel demand models, transit and bike networks. More policy, less concrete.

  • Certifications from the Institute of Transportation Engineers

    Its certification board runs credentials for specialists in traffic operations, planning and road safety, taken after you are already licensed.
