Transportation planners often undertake projects outside their home cities or regions. Working in unfamiliar geographies brings a unique set of challenges that can impact project success if not considered early and often.

This presentation will identify some of the key challenges faced by planners when contributing to projects in unfamiliar locations and, informed by personal experiences and research, offer potential solutions for planners to consider to maximize project benefits and client satisfaction.

Daniel Olejarz is a transportation planner at IBI Group, contributing to projects related to emerging mobility technologies, active transportation, and data analytics. He holds an MASc in Civil Engineering and BASc in Engineering Science, both from the University of Toronto.
