The Buck Creek Greenway Trail is a non-motorized facility that parallels Buck Creek, a tributary of the Cahaba River. Segments of the trail are paved while other segments are soft-surface, depending on the municipality where the trail is located. The segments from one municipality to the next are not yet connected.

I worked on the trail segment within the City of Alabaster and assessed the feasibility of extending the facility from its termini in Siluria Mills at Warrior Park to the Medical Mile District, north and east of the existing greenway trail, and to Veterans Park to the west of the existing trail, an extension totaling two-miles in length. I identified an alignment concept using an existing utility easement and provided a facility design concept. My analysis included an evaluation of existing right-of-way availability and physical constraints before ultimately arriving at using the utility easement for the alignment. I assessed how the trail could connect: residential communities and traditional neighborhoods; activity centers including the three existing city parks, a proposed meditation garden, and the new Alabaster High School campus, and; retail centers. I also provided a cost analysis.

The Active Transportation Program is a California transportation program created to increase the proportion of trips accomplished by walking and biking, improve safety and mobility for non-motorized travelers, improve air quality, and improve public health with a focus on disadvantaged communities.

I was enlisted to coordinate San Benito County, California’s efforts to assemble and submit a Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 5 (FY 2021) grant application to develop a countywide active transportation plan. I worked with San Benito County staff and the Council of Governments of San Benito County to define a project scope and estimate the cost/establish a budget. The application's assembly also entailed gathering and analyzing information about cyclist safety, community and school demographics, and environmental concerns specific to air quality.

The United Way of Central Alabama’s Healthy Communities Initiative oversaw Jefferson County, Alabama's Safe Routes to School (SR2S) grant and developed several program activities as a part of the grant. One of the activities was the Birmingham Public Schools' Walking School Bus.

I assisted the United Way to conduct a Walking School Bus demonstration project. Following the successful demonstration project, I helped the United Way with the systemwide implementation of the Walking School Bus program. I provided their original research on the concept and facilitated peer exchanges between the United Way's staff and the staff of Metropolitan Planning Organizations, municipal partners, and school transportation officials. I also aided United Way to address and overcome pedestrian infrastructure gaps and navigate both the City of Birmingham and the Department of Public Safety bureaucracy.

The School-Pool Demonstration Project was an attempt to reduce suburban school-related traffic congestion by applying shared-ride principles to school transportation, specifically car riders. The demonstration project was conducted as a Congestion Management Process strategy.

I led the development of a school district-specific ride-matching tool, using the Birmingham Metropolitan Planning Organization's existing rideshare database, to facilitate carpools for school car riders. Findings from the demonstration project were used to inform program changes and determine ultimately whether the program should continue, expand, or be discontinued.
