April 2025: Our team’s familiarity with the planning and engineering landscape of Ohio allows us to serve communities with a understanding of their needs and interests. One way we are helping is by assisting on a unique project to develop curriculum on Formula E design for the K-12 classroom. Another is through our strong relationship with Ohio EMA that has fostered a detailed understanding of FEMA’s and the State’s hazard mitigation planning processes; we are now working on plans for Fulton, Greene, and Williams counties.

March 2025: Did you know that we’ve had an integral role in administering Ohio Department of Transportation’s Active Transportation Academy for over eight years? We are starting a new contract cycle with our first assignment being serving as co-facilitator of a Girls in Gear training for the City of Xenia. Through the ATA we develop, update, and facilitate in-person and on-demand trainings for planners, engineers, local decision makers, and advocates of walking and biking across Ohio.

February 2025: The new year continues this month with public meetings and data collection for four of our newest hazard mitigation plans for Clinton, Crawford, Marion, and Ross counties. Our involvement in the Ohio Valley Regional Development Commission’s 2020 Comprehensive Transportation Plan and the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission’s Get Ready Initiative projects are well underway. We are also continuing to conduct research and develop instructional design plans for a variety of asynchronous e-learning projects on the topics of hazardous and regulated waste materials in roadway construction, access management, work zone safety, and more.
