A transportation planner develops plans for a city’s public transit system. As a transportation planner, you work alongside urban planners, engineers, and other professionals to create a comprehensive plan that benefits all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and those using powered transportation. Your primary job duties involve analyzing data, assessing the proposed land use area, reviewing local policies, and creating detailed proposals. Most transportation planners work on projects for cities and government agencies.
| Aspect | Transportation Planner | Traffic Engineer |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Bachelor's degree in urban planning, transportation, or related field; often requires certification in planning | Bachelor's degree in civil engineering or related; often requires engineering licensure or certification |
| Work Environment | Urban planning agencies, government departments, consulting firms | Transportation departments, engineering firms, government agencies |
| Industry Usage | Focuses on long-term transportation systems, land use, and policy planning | Focuses on traffic flow, signal timing, and roadway safety |
