Mead & Hunt, a nationally recognized professional services consulting firm has a position available to join our internship experience for a limited-term, full-time summer starting in May/June 2024 and ending in August 2024. This position would have potential to continue PT<30 hours throughout the 2024 school year.

• Traffic Engineering

The Traffic and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) group focuses on the analysis, design, and implementation of traffic control devices (e.g., signing, pavement markings, traffic signals, roadway lighting) along our roadways / bridges / tunnels to improve traffic safety and mobility. Traffic analysis tools are used to assess existing and future traffic conditions and help implement traffic signal phasing and timing operational improvements for local jurisdictions. This group also designs and tests intelligent traffic control and wireless / wire line communication technologies that process and share real-time transportation data to support ITS applications such as transit signal priority, traveler information systems, traffic signal coordination, and electronic tolling.

• Transportation Planning

Transportation Planning develops, tests, and refines innovative solutions to mobility problems from a project's inception through preliminary engineering design stages. Responsibilities include planning, analysis and designs for various transportation facilities including complete streets, sidewalks, bicycle networks/ trails, transit systems, airports, freight networks and parking infrastructure. The Planning group focuses on improving multimodal (pedestrian, bicycle, transit) safety, operations, policy, equity, and quality-of-life transportation issues by analyzing, mapping (GIS), and simulating both existing and future traffic conditions. Multimodal data collection and analysis is performed to investigate existing safety and mobility issues and propose geometric, operational, land use and demand management strategies including use of advance simulation tools such as Vissim, TransModeler, Cube and ArcUrban. Design alternatives are proposed, sketched, and incorporated into plans and reports that are presented for clients and at public meetings. This group also engineers multimodal facilities such as shared-use paths / bike lanes, sidewalks, parking and transit facilities.
