Meet Edgar, an employee of Texas Transportation Institute (TTI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Edgar graduated with a Master of Urban Planning in 2021 with a focus in Transportation Planning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
I primarily work with travel survey programs, including region wide household surveys and employee and visitor surveys for businesses and educational institutions. This means reviewing survey data, specifications, and site plans for counts and interviews. There are specific attributes of the survey site or region that must be taken into account, which might involve a bit of digging online and through Census data and Google Earth\/ Street View.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I enjoy the “detective work” of reviewing survey data and site plans, as well as the geographic knowledge I have developed of a number of regions around Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most direct correlation between the MUP program and my job has been the extensive use of Census data, along with some knowledge of state funding and government operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I chose Texas A&M because of its strengths in transportation planning and hazard resilience, good value for money, and proximity to family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reach out to professors regarding jobs and further research opportunities!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13999,"template":"","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"story_department":[142],"story_program":[143],"story_type":[145],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
