A Transportation Planner is a professional who focuses on developing and improving transportation systems within a community or region. They analyze data related to traffic patterns, public transit usage, and land use to create efficient and sustainable transportation solutions. Their work often involves collaborating with government agencies, urban planners, and the public to ensure that transportation systems meet the needs of residents. Transportation planners also consider environmental impacts and aim to promote alternative modes of transport, such as walking, cycling, and public transit. They may work on projects related to highways, buses, trains, and bike lanes, ensuring that all aspects of transportation are integrated into urban development plans.
