Zack blends analysis, design, and persuasive storytelling to advance sustainable transportation solutions.

Zack is a multidisciplinary transportation planner, passionate about creating multimodal corridors that center the safety of all roadway users, improve reliability, and encourage mode shift. In his previous role, Zack led crash data analysis for local and regional safety action plans, advanced transit priority corridor redesigns, and championed robust, accessible community engagement. He has also supported clients across the country in matching shovel-ready projects to available funding sources, including helping secure over $350M in discretionary grant funding.

In addition to his previous private-sector experience, Zack also brings experience working in the public sector, having co-opped at the City of Boston during his undergraduate education. There, he worked on bus priority projects throughout the city, including targeted quick-build projects to benefit transit-dependent communities in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
