BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, UNITED STATES, March 11, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Wes Guckert, PTP, President and CEO of The Traffic Group – one of the nation’s leading SDVOSB traffic engineering and transportation planning firms – will be a featured speaker at Parking Today’s Parking Industry Expo (PIE 2024) on March 12, 2024 in Chicago, IL. — Wes Guckert, President & CEO, The Traffic Group
Specifically, he’ll be discussing why data collection and traffic studies are so important in any type of planning. Knowing specifics, and not just a “best guess” impacts everything from the amount of parking required for housing, retail, or office space, to how many lanes may need to be built on a new or existing road. The amount of parking or roadway required comes at a price, which typically trickles down to the consumer in the form of higher costs. Given ongoing inflation and higher costs, finding ways to keep already exorbitant costs as low as possible is a priority across the board.
