Growing in Orlando

Along with client and community partnerships growing in our Orlando, Florida office, so is our staff! We’re excited to announce that Fred Choa, Billy Hattaway, Elizabeth Connell, and Jim Moser are joining Kathrin Tellez to round out our growing Florida team. Fred will bring a range of transportation planning and traffic engineering services to assist communities in improving multimodal reliability of travel time, reducing congestion, and improving air quality. Billy’s expertise and local knowledge will be key to partnering closely with community leaders, agencies, private clients, and community members to plan and collaborate all the way from concept to construction to improve quality of life and safety for all with a particular focus on Vision Zero, bicycle and pedestrian planning, and complete streets. Elizabeth will get involved in technical analysis, and as we continue to grow, assist in training and integrating new local staff. Jim brings his design background, expanding on the technical design services provided to clients and communities in Orlando and throughout Florida. We look forward to connecting with you!
