Most see a strategic plan. We see safer travel for everyone. Every five years, the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) authors a Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) to identify ways to decrease traffic crashes. We collaborated with NDOT to conduct the assessment, which is now an appendix to the SHSP and is NDOT’s first document focusing strictly on improving safety for vulnerable road users, like pedestrians or cyclists. Goals of the assessment included: - Analyzing contributing factors that lead to vulnerable road user crashes - Identifying high-risk facilities, demographics, and land use - Developing strategies that make progress toward eliminating fatal and serious injury crashes #NebraskaDepartmentOfTransportation #StrategicHighwaySafetyPlan #EngineeringTransportationSolutions

💧 40 to 60 percent of California’s water supply comes from groundwater. But in California and throughout the West, intensifying water challenges such as drought and unsustainable water pumping have endangered long-term water supplies, threatening to deplete aquifers and greatly impact water quality. The Groundwater Accounting Platform—developed between ESA, the Environmental Defense Fund the California Water Data Consortium, Olsson—enables water managers, landowners, and water users to track water availability and usage, in order to avoid these undesirable outcomes and help communities meet water conservation goals. A notable feature, notes Technology Services Lead John Henry Burns PE, is the utilization of open-source technology which provides water managers with the data and tools to monitor their water use and make informed, long-term decisions towards sustainability. The platform is now available throughout California to support groundwater management practices.

Let's talk Project Management (in the world of planning) -- Successful projects require far more than just top-notch planning work and technical skill -- they must also be ☑ on-time, ☑ on-scope, and ☑ on-budget. Making this happen is no small feat, and great PMs take ownership of this throughout the life of the project using organizational/tracking tools, tailored communication, attention to detail, and proactive leadership. Project managers funnel the talent and expertise of the team through an organized process that sets everyone up for success. While they are trained planners themselves, they are supported and challenged by a team of experts and specialists to make each project a success. Project management is not what I went to school for (very few of us did!) but it's a skill in itself, and a crucial part of serving clients and communities well. I'm so grateful for a culture of mentorship, continued formal and informal PM training at Olsson, and the privilege to partner with cities and serve as a project manager!

🌱 Excited to share our teams involvement in the design of a potential new Waste to Energy Plant in Siloam Springs, Arkansas! As an engineer, I’m thrilled to be part of a project that turns waste into valuable energy, reducing landfill use and promoting sustainable practices. This plant is a significant step towards a greener future, showcasing how innovation in engineering can lead to environmental benefits and energy efficiency. By transforming waste into energy, we are not only addressing waste management challenges but also contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable world. Let’s continue to innovate and drive sustainability in every aspect of our work! 🌍⚙️ You can find out more about the project here: https://lnkd.in/gGtdR4Er #Sustainability #WasteToEnergy #Engineering #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFuture Olsson + The Process Group, LLC

Recently, several of our Kansas City-area employees participated in the Feed Northland Kids Food Kit Day. We served around 750 bags of groceries, produce, and meat to more than 330 families. Just one more way we work to give back to the places we call home. #FeedNorthlandKids #VolunteeringWithinTheCommunity #OlssonVolunteers
