Mr. Salvagin has directed and participated in numerous transportation planning, traffic operations, and parking studies throughout the country during his 20-years as a practicing traffic/transportation planner.  His areas of expertise are orientated towards land development, circulation, access management, traffic calming, expert testimony and municipal engineering.  The following are a brief listing of some of Mr. Salvagin’s past projects and expertise.

Traffic Operations and Impact Studies - Responsible for completion of hundreds of studies for both private and public developments; duties include inventory, surveys, operational analysis, traffic modeling, traffic signal(s), roadway improvement assessment, conceptual design and public hearing support.  Projects include large scale mixed-use developments, industrial parks, residential, retail malls, public and private schools, commercial, etc.

Transportation Management – Has participated in projects that involve the forecasting of traffic for Traditional Neighborhood Developments and land planning to entice alternative modes of transportation.  Projects entail the accommodation of mass transit, pedestrian facilities, bike lanes, and the appropriate mixing of land uses to reduce vehicle trips.

Parking Studies - Directed parking demand, rate and feasibility studies for specific land developments as well as for municipalities.  Responsibilities included review of parking codes, analyses and utilization of shared-parking methodologies, preliminary design of parking facilities (surface as well as structure), and analyses of types of parking control.

Downtown Studies - Partnered on multiple projects involving a team effort to re-develop downtown "main streets" or similar transportation facilities.  Duties included the determination of roadway capacity needs, parking roadway alignments, traffic calming, participation at public workshops and hearings, etc.

Municipal Engineering - Provided on-call service for municipalities as it pertains to site development.  Responsibilities included pedestrian safety and facilities design, staff education and development, development review of municipal projects, adherence to ADA standards and traffic signal warrants associated with risk management.  Assisted in the development of Land Management Ordinances.
