Planning Experience
Cornelius Nuworsoo, AICP has 22 years experience both in urban and regional planning and in transportation engineering. He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) and a full member of the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Formerly a senior transportation planner with the Baltimore Metropolitan Council, an MPO, he has extensive experience and expertise in the development of transportation master plans and in the application of travel demand modeling software. He played key roles in the development of the regional long-range transportation plan, which involved the full spectrum application of the urban transportation planning process (UTPS) in the analyses to determine the long-term development of highway and transit infrastructure in the Baltimore metropolitan area. He performed similar roles in the development of the transportation master plans for the U.S. Department of Interior that involved the determination of the long-term transportation needs and the coordinated sets of improvements consistent with the social, environmental, and economic goals of 24 different communities in Colorado, Florida, and New Mexico. He has many years of hands-on application experience with such travel forecasting models as minUTP (at the Baltimore Metropolitan Council), TRANPLAN (in corridor analyses for the Delaware Department of Transportation) and TP+ (in the modeling for the 2012 Olympic bid for the San Francisco Bay Area).
