Multimodal planning discipline leader Jacki Murdock’s work is rooted in the belief that good planning should serve to elevate all voices in communities and is easily imple­mentable as well. “It’s important to remain sensitive to how to better incorporate equity and inclusion goals within the larger planning process,” she says.

Jacki specializes in leading multimodal trans­porta­tion corridor plans, transit corridor analysis, and has extensive experience in alter­na­tives development and project prior­i­ti­za­tion that balances budgets, maximizing benefits, and local agency and community needs. She manages multi­dis­ci­pli­nary tasks to deliver high quality products that reflect the goals of the client and project objectives.

“I’m a trans­porta­tion planner so, admittedly, I think of everything in terms of process. It’s integral for decision-makers to understand where they are in the planning process, assess their current and future infra­struc­ture/technology needs, and identify a playbook for further action,” she says.

In recent years, Jacki has served as a trans­porta­tion planner for long-range plans, leading public engagement and outreach, developing funding and grant strategy, and imple­ment­ing policies and spec­i­fi­ca­tions relative to alternative contracting methods in Illinois and Texas.
