Abstract Details

2015, Master of Environmental Science, Miami University, Environmental Sciences.
This report summarizes my activities as Planning Intern for the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) from May 2014 through May 2015. The following report is organized by a history of Metropolitan Planning Organizations, MVRPC, and common aspects involved in transportation planning. This is followed by the role that MVRPC plays in environmental planning, transportation safety planning and the work that I contributed to the programs in that area. Major work that I contributed includes a preliminary analysis of traffic safety data in the Miami Valley Region for the years 2011 to 2013. Finally, I discuss how MVRPC may enhance safety planning as well as how the Institute for the Environment and Sustainability (IES) program at Miami University has impacted my education and career goals.
