Mr. Patel has over 29 years of professional experience in both the public and private sector and is a registered Traffic Engineer in California and Civil Engineer in Texas and Arizona. He has served as the Project Manager in the design and implementation for numerous traffic signal designs and Intelligent Transportation Systems communications network projects for public agencies throughout California and other traffic engineering design projects. He has also managed numerous multi-disciplinary complete street and safe route to school design projects that have enhanced the safety for transit, vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Many of the projects included providing bid and construction assistance services after the design phase.

Mr. Patel’s professional expertise also includes preparation of ITS plans, traffic handling plans, traffic operational analysis, Safe Route to School studies, bicycle and pedestrian circulation studies, and parking studies.

Ms. Modugula has 22 years of experience in leading transportation planning firms in the United States and India in the field of travel forecasting models. She is an expert in passenger and freight travel demand forecasting models, mobility plans, master plans, demand assessment, and public transport feasibility projects. She also has extensive experience in transportation planning software such as CUBE, TransCAD, and EMME. Ms. Modugula has conducted numerous training sessions in model development and Cube software.

Mr. Mishra has more than 14 years of experience in transportation modeling, transportation planning, and project management. His specialties include travel demand forecasting, travel model development, traffic and revenue studies for traditional toll roads and managed lanes, transportation planning and long range planning support. At TJKM, Mr. Mishra leads a team of data scientists that will focus on integrating data into the transportation planning process and develop data partnerships with private players so we can help our clients make data driven decisions. Mr. Mishra is proficient in Cube Voyager, TP+, TransCAD, Transmodeler, Arc GIS, SPSS, R, Python, Postgress SQL, and HERE data.

Mr. Burgett has over two decades of professional experience with expertise in multimodal transportation and integrated transportation/land use planning. He specializes in strategic planning for large-scale projects, including citywide transportation plans, general plans / specific plans, complete streets solutions, bicycle and pedestrian planning, development studies, transportation demand management (TDM), bus rapid transit (BRT) design, transit access, and station area plans. He has extensive experience with projects that emphasize corridor revitalization, transit-oriented development, and complete streets.

Mr. Burgett manages projects that place a strong emphasis on facilitating the interactions between transportation systems, land use patterns, and urban design components. He has developed context-sensitive mobility solutions for projects throughout California and other western states. His recent projects include the Belmont Pedestrian & Bicycle Plan, ConnectMenlo General Plan, Facebook Campus Expansion, Bascom Corridor Complete Streets Study, and Seaside 2040 General Plan Mobility Element.

Mr. Bjorklund has 26 years of design experience, including 24 with TJKM. He has been the project manager and lead designer for more than 1000 signal design, modification, and signal interconnect projects throughout California, and has prepared hundreds of miles of signing and striping (S&S) design plans using AutoCAD. Mr. Bjorklund has extensive experience performing field analyses to determine geometric configurations of intersections, and has conducted many peer reviews of other designers’ work, providing clients with useful design modifications. He has also designed the roadways for the civil firms to provide the correct transitions, deceleration lanes and toppers. During his tenure with the City of Brentwood, Mr. Bjorklund plan checked Joint Trench, Interconnect, Fiber Optic, Street Lighting, Traffic Signals, and Signing and Striping Plans.

Many of the design projects Mr. Bjorklund has led and managed include Caltrans coordination and obtaining encroachment permits. His familiarity with Caltrans’ design standards results in minimal plan check revisions, moving design projects efficiently through the Agency’s approval process. TJKM’s design projects often include construction support services and Mr. Bjorklund has established a good working relationship with many of the developers and contractors in the Bay Area.
