From corridor studies to Safe Routes to School, you’ll use tools like Synchro, Highway Capacity Software, MicroStation, and/or AutoCAD to turn ideas into action. You’ll contribute to projects across the region and beyond, helping shape safer, more sustainable multimodal infrastructure in diverse contexts as part of a collaborative team that’s passionate about the work we do and the communities we serve.
