Michael Keller and Alexander Eadline Recognized as GVF Top TDM Profes­sion­als Under 40

PHILADEL­PHIA—Trans­porta­tion engineers Michael Keller and Alexander Eadline were recognized as two of GVF’s Top Trans­porta­tion Demand Management (TDM) Profes­sion­als Under 40. The award recognizes ambitious leaders in the industry that are working to find creative solutions to improve our quality of life through engineering, planning, marketing campaigns, and the development of commuting alternative programs that are shifting behavioral change.

With a passion for trans­porta­tion design, Keller has applied his expertise in traffic analysis and traffic signal design with CDM Smith for the past six years. His involvement with pedestrian and bicycle infra­struc­ture improve­ments in the Philadel­phia area partly contributed to his recognition as a top TDM profes­sional. “It is rewarding to know that my efforts, and those of the other award recipients, to expand the industry's focus beyond a car-centric point of view do not go unnoticed,” he said.

With over a decade of progressive trans­porta­tion engineering experience, Eadline currently works as a trans­porta­tion engineer and project manager at CDM Smith. Having also been an active member of the American Society of Highway Engineers (ASHE) Delaware Valley Section, he has worked on numerous highway projects including bridge replace­ments to large-scale roadway recon­struc­tion. “As a trans­porta­tion engineer, I have the unique opportunity to work collab­o­ra­tively with an orga­ni­za­tion like GVF, both as problem-solving prac­ti­tioner and end-user of travel alter­na­tives,” he said. “I’m honored to be recognized for my contri­bu­tions in imple­ment­ing creative trans­porta­tion solutions that improve the quality of life for all users.”

“Mike and Alex’s design work does not just focus on vehicular traffic but considers all modes of trans­porta­tion. Even at an early age, their guidance and leadership at CDM Smith is training the next generation of engineers that will contribute to our society,” said Kazi Hassan, CDM Smith project manager.
