It was a Traffic Workshop Tyler attended as a McCormick Taylor intern that convinced him traffic engineering was the right path for him. One of his favorite memories at McCormick Taylor, the workshop gathered all the traffic engineers across the company and covered a wide range of projects and lessons learned. "The workshop was a great crash course for what we do," Tyler said. "It solidified my interest in becoming a traffic engineer!"
Tyler’s work spans across a variety of traffic-related disciplines for projects in and around Philadelphia. While his daily work includes designing roadway signing and striping, traffic signals, and maintenance and protection of traffic plans, Tyler specializes in highway lighting and Intelligence Transportation System (ITS) design. These electrical and communication systems are essential for ensuring road safety and sustainability throughout construction and long after the project has been completed.
“I really enjoy the unique challenges that each project brings,” Tyler said, “as well as the teamwork that it takes to get our designs across the finish line.”
A project Tyler is currently leading exemplifies this teamwork-oriented approach. The project includes leading study efforts for over 90 traffic signals across Philadelphia, with the goal of reducing delay and driver travel times. The study involves several signals that are located on prominent city corridors, including the Philadelphia Art Museum, where determining the effects of road closures for large-scale events around the museum is a difficult yet important project.
When Tyler is not working, he enjoys spending time outside playing golf, fishing in the PA Poconos, and riding trails with his friends and family.
