A Day in the Life of a Planning Professional
2023
Overview
The majority of projects that Whisler and his team have been working as of late include several major statewide planning efforts such as the update to the State's long-range transportation plan (Access Ohio), the update to their state freight plan (Transport Ohio), and development of a new Resiliency Improvement Plan. On a given day, their planning team is interacting with a variety of partners across the State of Ohio. They spend a significant amount of time engaging with their regional planning partners. Ohio has more regional transportation planning organizations than most states. This includes seventeen Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and six Rural Transportation Planning Organizations (RTPOs). Their planning team is frequently called upon to attend and hold various meetings, both within and outside of the DOT. This includes meetings with other DOT offices, such as their program management office, economic development office, local programs office, traffic engineering office, and their federal finance team. Their team also frequently meets with their external planning partners, such as MPO and RTPO staff, federal agencies, and local authorities to collaborate on ongoing transportation planning projects and initiatives.
